DIVIDEND PAYMENTS

On 12 May 2021, a final dividend of 42.5p per share was proposed and, subject to approval at the AGM on 14 July 2021, will be paid according to the following timetable:

• Ex-dividend date: 1 July 2021
• Final dividend record date: 2 July 2021
• Deadline for return of DRIP mandate forms: 16 July 2021
• Final dividend payment date: 6 August 2021

The Company’s  capital allocation policy remains in place, prioritising investment in the long-term growth of our business and dividend distribution to shareholders. However, given the uncertainty caused by COVID-19, the Board believed it prudent to protect the Company’s liquidity position and an interim dividend was not declared for FY 2020/21.

PAYMENTS DIRECT TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT

The Company encourages shareholders to have their dividends paid directly into their bank account. This payment method is quicker and more convenient and means that cleared funds are available on the dividend payment date. It also avoids the cost and inconvenience of lost, stolen, spoiled or out of date cheques.

If you currently receive your dividends via cheque and would like them paid directly into your bank account instead, please contact our Registrars.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

The Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP) enables shareholders to use their dividends to buy further Burberry shares. Full details on the DRIP, including an application form, can be obtained from the Registrars.
