An Interim Dividend of US2.5 cents per Ordinary Share of N0.50k each, (subject to appropriate withholding tax) will be paid to shareholders whose names appear in the Register of Members as at the close of business on 12^th August 2021.

Note that on the London Stock Exchange: The Associated Record Date will be 12^th August 2021 and the Ex-Dividend date will be 11^th August 2021.

The default currency and options on currency election for the dividend will depend as follows:

•             Shareholders holding their shares on the Nigerian Exchange Limited without a valid Nigerian Certificate for Capital Importation ("CCI") will be paid their dividend in Naira as the default currency;

•             Shareholders holding their shares on the Nigerian Exchange Limted with a valid CCI will be paid their dividend in US dollars as the default currency.  However, those shareholders may instead elect to receive their entire dividend payment in Naira (partial elections are not permissible).  Evidence of the CCI must be provided to Datamax Registrars Limited; and

•             Shareholders holding their shares through depository interests on the London Stock Exchange will be paid their dividend in US dollars as the default currency.  However, those shareholders may instead elect to receive their entire dividend payment in pounds sterling. Partial elections are not permissible.
