Declaration of final dividend, notice of Annual General Meeting
and annual report for the year ended 31 March 2020
Annual General Meeting ('AGM')
Severfield plc, the market leading structural steel group, today
announces that its AGM will be held on Thursday 3 September at
12pm.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the UK government has
issued guidance and restrictions on non-essential travel and public
gatherings and social distancing. As a result of this, the 2020 AGM
will be a closed meeting and shareholders will not be able to
attend. Shareholders may ask questions in advance of the meeting by
submitting an email to the Company ( severfield@camarco.co.uk
).
Final dividend
As a result of the Group's strong balance sheet and cash
position, the board is recommending a final dividend for the year
ended 31 March 2020 of 1.8p per share, making a total for the year
of 2.9p per share (2019: 2.8p per share). If the dividend is
approved at the AGM on 3 September 2020, it will be paid on 11
September 2020 to shareholders on the register at the close of
business on 14 August 2020.
The Group's strong financial position also means that, whilst we
furloughed some of our workforce in the first quarter of the 2021
financial year, almost all of whom have since returned to work, we
will not be claiming for support under any employee-related
government support packages including the Coronavirus Job Retention
Scheme.
Annual report and AGM notice
The annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2020,
notice of Annual General Meeting and form of proxy will be posted,
or made available, to shareholders on 3 August 2020. These
documents will be made available on the Company's website and will
be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism, where they will be
available for inspection on the Financial Conduct Authority website
( https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism ).
