USG People's dividend policy is aimed at distributing around one-third of net income before amortisation of goodwill and goodwill-related assets. It is decided on an annual basis whether the dividend will be distributed in cash or in a choice of either cash or ordinary shares, to be charged to the share premium reserve or other reserves.

 

USG People distributes dividends once a year. The annual dividend proposal is announced in conjunction with the publication of annual results in the first week of March. The dividend proposal is first presented for approval to the General Meeting of Shareholders, which is normally held in April. The dividend is distributed in May.
