- Amendment to Financial Timetable

Further to the announcement made earlier today regarding the publication of the Annual Report and Accounts and Notice of AGM 2014, the Financial Timetable included within that announcement and has been amended. The below revised Financial Timetable also supersedes that provided in the Annual Report and Accounts 2013/14 published today.

The ex-dividend date quoted of 19 November 2014 for the interim dividend 2014/15 will be changed to 20 November 2014 to take account of the shortened dividend timetable following the implementation of T+2 settlement from 6 October 2014. This therefore also changes the scrip reference price announcement date, from 26 November to 27 November, as this is connected to the ex-dividend date.

National Grid's Financial Timetable for the remainder of the 2013/14 financial year and for 2014/15 will therefore be as follows:

6 June 2014	Record date for 2013/14 final dividend
11 June 2014	Scrip reference price announced
27 June 2014	Scrip election date for 2013/14 final dividend
28 July 2014	Interim management statement and Annual General Meeting, ICC, Birmingham
20 August 2014	2013/14 final dividend paid to qualifying shareholders
7 November 2014	2014/15 half year results
20 November 2014	Ordinary shares go ex-dividend
21 November 2014	Record date for 2014/15 interim dividend
27 November 2014	Scrip reference price announced
5 December 2014	Scrip election date for 2014/15 interim dividend
7 January 2015	2014/15 interim dividend paid to qualifying shareholders
January/February 2015	Interim management statement
May 2015	2014/15 preliminary results
