The Board of Directors of the Nigerian Exchange Group Plc announced an interim dividend of 25 kobo per ordinary share of 50 kobo each, distributable to shareholders for the first half  (H1) of financial year 2023.

 

Confiance News gathered from NGX on Tuesday.

 

This dividend, which is the first since the demutualisation of the Nigerian Stock Exchange will be paid to shareholders whose names appear in the Shareholders’ Register as of close of business Monday, 31 July 2023. Payment will be remitted electronically to qualified shareholders on Thursday, 31st August 2023. The dividend announcement comes as a resolution of the Board following the request from shareholders at the recently held Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 14 July 2023.

 

Commenting on the dividend announcement, the Chairman, NGX Group, Alhaji (Dr) Umaru Kwairanga said, “The announcement of the dividend will send a signal to our shareholders that the Company has a listening and responsive Board following the request at the last annual general meeting. We hope to continue enjoying the support of our valued shareholders as NGX Group seeks to execute on its strategy to create sustainable growth in the medium to long term.”

 

The Group Chief Executive Officer, NGX Group, Mr Oscar Onyema stated, “The proposed payment will not significantly impact the cash position and retained earnings of the Company and will further position the company as investible for a wider class of investors in the capital market. We will continue to focus on maximising value for shareholders just as we champion the development of Africa’s financial markets.”
