All motions carried-great dividend and anticipated 35% growth
"The Board has recommended a final dividend of $1.18 per share, in line with our 40% of underlying earnings payout policy, and a further special dividend of 50 cents per share, bringing total dividends for the year, including the special dividend paid in September, to $4.19 per share. Combined with our $1 billion share buyback programme, our total cash return to shareholders in respect of 2021 was $6.2 billion. Total Shareholder Return for the year was 35%, second amongst the UK-listed mining majors, and almost double the FTSE 100 Index’s 18%.
Anglo American has one of the industry’s most compelling organic growth profiles, with considerable optionality. We are anticipating volume growth of around 35% over the coming decade – across the diversified mix of metals and minerals required for a transition to a cleaner, greener world".
