Second Interim Dividend Payment
Savills plc, the international real estate advisor, is pleased to announce that the Board has declared a second interim dividend for the year ended 31 December 2009 of 6.0p per share making a total dividend payment of 9.0p for the full year (unchanged on 2008).
The Board believes that it is in the interests of shareholders as a whole to pay a second interim dividend in the current tax year. Accordingly, this declaration of a second interim dividend is in place of the final dividend that the Board would normally recommend to shareholders.
The second interim dividend will be paid on 1 April 2010 to all ordinary shareholders on the register at the close of business on 12 March 2010. The ordinary shares will be marked ex-dividend on 10 March 2010.
It is anticipated that future dividend payments would be declared and recommended in line with the normal interim and final dividend structure.
