The scrip dividend alternative involves the issuance of relevant new ordinary shares on the Hong Kong line only.
Shareholders holding shares on the UK and Hong Kong registers were able to elect to receive their dividend payment in US dollars by 25 September 2025.
UK register
Shareholders holding shares on the UK register who have elected to receive the dividend in cash and have not elected to receive their dividend payment in US dollars will receive the dividend payment in pounds sterling, and their dividend will be converted from US dollars to pounds sterling at the rate of one US dollar to 0.744541 pounds sterling.
Accordingly, the amount of sterling payable in cash on 16 October 2025 will be approximately: 5.740411 pence per ordinary share.
Hong Kong branch register
Shareholders holding shares on the Hong Kong branch register who have elected to receive the dividend in cash and have not elected to receive their dividend payment in US dollars will receive the dividend payment in Hong Kong dollars, and their dividend will be converted from US dollars to Hong Kong dollars at the rate of one US dollar to 7.779780 Hong Kong dollars.
Accordingly, the amount of Hong Kong dollars payable in cash on 16 October 2025 will be approximately: 0.599821 Hong Kong dollars per ordinary share.
UK and Hong Kong register shareholders who have elected to receive new shares in respect of the dividend will receive the cash balance in respect of fractional shares, if any, in pounds sterling or Hong Kong dollars, respectively, being converted from US dollars using the above-mentioned exchange rates. For UK register shareholders, the cash balance will be paid at the same time as the distribution of sale proceeds to the UK register shareholders participating in the dealing facility, which is expected to take place within 14 Hong Kong trading days of the completion of the sale of the relevant shares via the dealing facility. For Hong Kong registered shareholders, the cash balance will be paid on 16 October 2025.
