Dividend

The Board has declared an interim dividend relating to the accounting period ended 30 September 2014 of 0.60p per ordinary share to shareholders on the register on 14 November 2014.  The dividend will be paid on 28 November 2014 and the shares will trade ex-dividend from 13 November 2014.

Following the pattern of previous years the dividends paid in February, May and November are likely to be smaller than the dividend paid in August.  The Board, when considering the dividend policy, is mindful of the current market consensus for dividend growth in the pharmaceutical sector and will look to this when considering the annual distributions to shareholders. 

The Company's policy remains to increase the dividend on an annual basis progressively, but there is no guarantee that this will be achieved.
