Scrip Dividend for 2021/22 Final Dividend
The optional scrip dividend, allowing shareholders to receive new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company, instead of a cash dividend, is available to ordinary shareholders on the register on 6 June 2022, the 2021/22 final dividend record date. A timetable is provided below.
For ordinary shareholders, the scrip dividend reference price for the 2021/22 final dividend is 1,106.80 pence. This is calculated as the average closing mid-market price of an ordinary share for the five dealing days commencing with, and including, the ordinary share ex-dividend date.
For American Depositary Share (ADS) holders, the scrip ADS reference price for the 2021/22 final dividend is US$69.3576. This is calculated by multiplying the scrip dividend reference price above by five (as there are five ordinary shares underlying each ADS) and by the average US$ rate for the equivalent dates.
The current terms and conditions of the scrip dividend scheme are available on the Company's website at www.nationalgrid.com in the Investors section or from Equiniti (0800 169 7775).
