Dividend
The Board is recommending the payment of a final dividend for 2015 of 2.21 cents (1.59 pence) per share which, together with the interim dividend of 1.68 cents (1.08 pence) per share paid in September 2015, brings the full year dividend to 3.89 cents (2.67 pence) per share. The dividend is covered 1.3 times by adjusted earnings. This maintains the full year dividend for 2015 at the same level as for 2014 at 3.89 cents per share.
Subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 5 May 2016, the final dividend will be paid on 6 May 2016 to shareholders on the register at 4 March 2016. Payment to ADR holders will be made on 16 May 2016.
