SSE PLC

SCRIP DIVIDEND SCHEME

The Board of SSE plc ('the Company') confirms that the Scrip reference price for the fully paid ordinary shares to be issued to shareholders electing to receive the Scrip dividend alternative for the interim dividend for the year ending 31 March 2026, payable on 30 January 2026, will be 2,146 pence per share.

The Scrip reference price has been calculated by taking the average mid-market closing price of the Company's shares over the five business days commencing on the ex-dividend date. In respect of the interim dividend for the year ending 31 March 2026, this was the period 4 to 10 December 2025.

If all of the Company's eligible shareholders as at the record date of 5 December 2025 were to elect to participate in the Scrip Dividend Scheme in respect of their entire shareholdings as at such date, based on the Scrip reference price of 2,146 pence per share, the maximum number of shares required to be issued by the Company, for Scrip dividend purposes, would be 12,036,799 representing approximately 1.0% of the Company's issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) on the record date.

The exact number of shares required to be issued will be established after 2 January 2026, the final date for receipt of elections to participate in the Scrip Dividend Scheme.  

Shareholders wishing to participate in the Scrip Dividend Scheme should contact Computershare Investor Services PLC and return their mandate forms to arrive no later than 2 January 2026.  Shareholders wishing to withdraw from the Scrip Dividend Scheme should ensure their requests to withdraw are lodged with Computershare Investor Services PLC to arrive no later than 2 January 2026.
