Dividend Growth
The Group has paid two interim dividends totalling 62.56 pence per share in June 2019 and September 2019, in line with our quarterly dividend payment policy to give shareholders a more regular cash return.
From the 5th Nov. 2019 accounts statement"
The Board approved a further interim dividend of 72.00 pence per share and will propose a final dividend of 72.01 pence per share, bringing the total dividend for the year to 206.57 pence per share. The third interim dividend will be paid on 31 December 2019 with an ex-dividend date of 22 November 2019. Subject to AGM approval, the proposed final dividend will be paid on 31 March 2020, with an ex-dividend date of 21 February 2020."
Unfortunately the statement is not worded very well as it uses "proposed" and "will be paid" in the same paragraph.
