AEP Plantations Plc

("AEP" or the "Company")

 Final dividend 

As was announced on 30 April 2026, the Company proposes to pay a final dividend of 43.7 cents per share. With an interim dividend of 37.3 cents per Share already paid, the total dividend declared for the year ended 31 December 2025 will be 81.0 cents (2024: 51.0 cents per Share), representing approximately 35% of retained profits attributable to our Group for the year and higher than our dividend policy. Subject to shareholder approval at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting, the final dividend will be paid on 30 July 2026 to shareholders on the register on 19 June 2026.

While the dividend is declared in US Dollars, shareholders can elect to receive their dividends in Pounds Sterling. In the absence of any specific instruction up to the date of closing of the register on 19 June 2026, shareholders with addresses in the UK will be deemed to have elected to receive their dividends in Pounds Sterling and those with addresses outside the UK will be deemed to have elected to receive their dividends in US Dollars.

For shareholders opting to receive their dividends in Pounds Sterling, the final dividend of 43.7 cents will be converted at the exchange rate prevailing on 19 June 2026 (the record date). For illustration, based on the exchange rate at 14 April 2026 of $1.359/￡, the equivalent dividend per share would be 32.16p. Shareholders wishing to change their currency election must do so by 19 June 2026.

Dividends will be paid electronically either through the CREST system for participating members or by direct bank transfer pursuant to a dividend mandate provided by the shareholder or custodian. In line with market practice, international dividend cheque payments in USD will be discontinued from 31 March 2026. Shareholders are encouraged to update their payment instructions and banking details through the Computershare Investor Services website to facilitate efficient and secure dividend payments. Shareholders are encouraged to ensure their payment instructions and banking details are up to date through the Computershare Investor Services website to facilitate efficient and secure dividend payments. The use of electronic payment methods, including CREST where applicable, improves operational efficiency and supports AEP's sustainability commitments to shareholders, investors and the wider market.
