Marks and Spencer Group PLC INTERIM results amendment
Further to the announcement of the Half Year results (RNS 4617E released at 07.00 on 4 November 2015), a typographical error has been identified under Note 7 relating to the payment date of the interim dividend. RNS 4617E stated that the payment would be made on 8 January 2015, this should read 8 January 2016.
The corrected note is below:
7 Dividends | |||
26 weeks ended | 52 weeks ended | ||
26 Sept 2015 | 27 Sept 2014 | 28 March 2015 | |
£m | £m | £m | |
Final dividend of 11.6p per share (last year 10.8p per share) | 190.8 | 176.2 | 176.2 |
Prior period interim dividend of 6.4p per share | - | - | 104.5 |
190.8 | 176.2 | 280.7 | |
The directors have approved an interim dividend of 6.8p per share (last half year 6.4p per share) which, in line with the requirements of IAS 10 - 'Events after the Reporting Period', has not been recognised within these results. This results in an interim dividend of £111.3m (last half year £104.5m) which will be paid on 8 January 2016 to shareholders whose names are on the Register of Members at the close of business on 13 November 2015. The ordinary shares will be quoted ex dividend on 12 November 2015. Shareholders may choose to take this dividend in shares or in cash.
