Ordinary Shareholders are entitled to receive all such dividends.
Zero Dividend Preference Shareholders are not entitled to receive dividend payments.

Dividend Mandate
To ensure that dividends are received as quickly as possible, the Company’s Registrar, MUFG Corporate Markets, may be instructed to pay them directly into a bank account; tax vouchers are then mailed to shareholders separately. A Dividend Mandate Form for completion is available in the ‘Documents’ section of this website. Alternatively, if you have already registered on the Share Portal with the Registrar you can login to record your bank account details. You can also telephone the Registrar Helpline on 0371 664 0300 and select the option to change your personal information.
