Dividends
Does ITV pay a cash dividend on ordinary shares?
It is intended that future dividends for ITV plc will be paid twice yearly for the periods ending 30 June and 31 December. It is further intended that ITV plc will follow the existing Granada dividend policy, which takes into account the performance, cash-flow and future prospects of the business whilst maintaining an appropriate level of dividend cover. The ex-dividend, record and payment dates are posted on our financial calendar when they become available.
When will I receive the next dividend?
When formally announced dividend payment dates can be found on our financial calendar.
What is the dividend record date?
The dividend record date is the date that the Registrar refers to the register of members to prepare the dividend payment. A shareholding must be registered on this date to receive the dividend. The record date for the latest dividend can be found in the financial calendar.
What is the ex-dividend date?
The ex-dividend date is a specific date, occurring after the dividend has been declared, after which buyers are no longer entitled to receive the last declared dividend. This is known as going 'ex-dividend' and before this date the shares are said to be 'cum-dividend'. If you buy shares before the ex-dividend date, you are entitled to the recently declared dividend. If you buy shares on or after that date, the previous owner of the shares (and not you) is entitled to the dividend. The ex-dividend date for the latest dividend can be found in the financial calendar.
