Declaration of Third Interim Dividend

The Company announces the payment of the third interim dividend in respect of the year ended 30 September 2024 of 4.2 pence per ordinary share (2023: 4.0 pence per ordinary share).

The dividend will be paid on 25 October 2024 to all shareholders on the register on 20 September 2024. The ex- dividend date is 19 September 2024.

In the absence of unforeseen circumstances, it is the Board's intention that the fourth interim dividend, payable in January 2025, will also be 4.2 pence per Ordinary Share making a total dividend payment for the year ending 30 September 2024 of 16.8 pence per ordinary share.

Based on the share price at 10 September 2024, this would represent a 3.2% dividend yield and is an overall increase of 5% on the total dividend payment for the financial year ended 30 September 2023 of 16.0 pence per ordinary share.
