Re: Dividend and Distribution Hikes - 2012
Another 8% from National Grid (NGG), and 4% for the two following dividends to be paid in 2013. Now that's clarity.
Our dividend is an important part of our returns to shareholders along with growth in the value of the
asset base attributable to equity holders. The financial year 2011/12 is the last year of National Grid’s
current dividend policy which has been in place since January 2008. The Board has agreed a new one
year dividend policy under which we plan to increase the 2012/13 dividend by 4% in nominal terms
over the forecast dividend of 39.28p for 2011/12. This policy reflects the outcome from the one year
rollover review of TPCR4 and forecast inflation of around 3% for the same period. As previously stated,
we expect to announce a new dividend policy for the period from April 2013 in 2013, once outcomes of
key regulatory developments are clear.
This new dividend policy will apply to the interim dividend to be paid in January 2013 and the final
dividend to be paid in August 2013. The final dividend to be paid in August 2012 will, subject to
approval at the 2012 AGM, continue to reflect the existing policy to target dividend growth of 8%.
