 4 April 2025 to the shareholders on the Share Register on 28 February 2025. The financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 do not reflect this dividend, which will be accounted for in Shareholders' Equity as an appropriation of retained profits in the year ending 31 December 2025. A half year dividend for 2024 of 2.9p (H123: 2.7p) per ordinary share was paid on 20 September 2024.

The Directors have confirmed their intention to initiate a share buyback of up to £1.0bn after the balance sheet date. The share buyback is expected to commence in the first quarter of 2025. The financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 do not reflect the impact of the proposed share buyback, which will be accounted for as and when shares are repurchased by the Company. Dividends and share buybacks are funded out of distributable reserves.
