For information about ITV AGMs please visit the AGM section of our website.

As a shareholder, the AGM is your opportunity to become directly involved in certain company decisions. You will be asked to vote (either in person or by poll) on important matters and you may also ask the Board of Directors questions.

If you are unable to attend the AGM in person you may still cast your vote on all the resolutions, by completing and returning the proxy form. Alternatively, you can vote electronically using the link provided in the AGM section of the website. Casting your vote by proxy will not prevent you from attending and voting at the AGM.

When formally announced dividend payment dates can be found in the Financial Calendar.

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.

The ex-dividend date is a specific date 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.
