SCRIP DIVIDEND SCHEME

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 final dividend for the year ended 31 March 2026, payable on 17 September 2026, will be 2,383 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 final dividend for the year ended 31 March 2026, this was the period 23 to 29 July 2026.

If all of the Company's eligible shareholders as at the record date of 24 July 2026 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 2,383 pence per share, the maximum number of shares required to be issued by the Company, for Scrip dividend purposes, would be 24,064,713 representing approximately 1.98% 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 20 August 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 20 August 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 20 August 2026.
