Nichols plc's board made the decision to withdraw the final dividend 28.0 pence for 2019 in March 2020 due to the uncertainties concerning the financial impact of Covid-19. In the context of dividend policy and payment, it is company intention to consider the two financial years 2019 and 2020 as a single review period given the overlap of the two years in terms of dividend payments. The company paid an interim dividend of 12.4 pence in August 2019. As a result of the Adjusted Profit after tax in H1 2020 and company strong cash performance company are now able, with confidence, to reinstate the value of the final proposed dividend from 2019 of 28.0 pence as the interim dividend for 2020. This will be paid on 4 September 2020 with a record date of 31 July 2020.
