Dividends
The Group paid a final dividend of 11.83 pence per Ordinary Share on 27 June 2014.
The Group proposes to pay an interim dividend of 6.49 pence per Ordinary Share on 31 October 2014 to shareholders on the register at 26 September 2014. No separate equivalent dividend was proposed in 2013, as it was paid within the £61.9 million (£1.08 per Ordinary Share) returned to shareholders in August 2013 following the Group's releveraging exercise.
This interim dividend payment continues the trend since flotation of increasing the dividend per Ordinary Share by 10 per cent per annum.
