The Directors of the Company have today declared an increased fourth interim dividend in respect of the year ended 31 December 2020 of 2.55p per Ordinary share of No Par Value (fourth interim for 2019: 2.50p).  The fourth interim dividend will be payable on 17 February 2021 to Ordinary shareholders on the register on 22 January 2021, ex-dividend date 21 January 2021.

The total dividend for 2020 amounts to 9.30p (2019: 9.25p) and the Board is pleased to note that this represents the twelfth consecutive year of annual dividend increases.  In the absence of unforeseen circumstances, it is the Board's intention to declare three interim dividends of 2.25p per Ordinary share in respect of the year to 31 December 2021.  A decision on the level of the fourth interim dividend will, as this year, be made post the period end, in January 2022.
