Historic dividends

In order to serve the needs of businesses and households through the unprecedented situation presented by Covid-19, in March 2020 the Board of Directors (“Board”) decided not to undertake any quarterly or interim dividend payments, accrual of dividends or share buybacks and defer decisions on any future shareholder distributions until the end of 2020.


In response to a formal request from the Prudential Regulatory Authority, the Board also decided to cancel the final ordinary and special dividend payments in relation to the 2019 financial year and not submit them for approval at the AGM held on 29 April 2020.
