Dividends
Company profits are customarily returned to shareholders in part in the form of dividends. The frequency and amount per share of dividend payments are decided by the Board of Directors.
Spire Healthcare Group plc normally pays an interim dividend each December and a final dividend for the previous financial year in June. The Board of Directors announced on 1 April 2020 that, due to the COVID-19 uncertainties and in view of the Company’s relationship with the NHS, it was prudent and in the long term interest of shareholders to suspend dividend payments. The Directors will review Spire Healthcare's dividend policy when circumstances permit.

Dividends direct to your bank account
Having your dividends paid directly into your bank or building society account is a more secure way than receiving your dividend by cheque. If you would prefer your dividends to be paid directly into your bank or building society account further information is available from Equiniti at help.shareview.co.uk or, alternatively, call them on 0333 207 6557 from the UK or +44(0) 121 415 0959 from overseas. You will still receive an annual dividend confirmation detailing each dividend to enable you to complete your tax return.
Annual Dividend Confirmations
The Company sends out an Annual Dividend Confirmation (ADC) in relation to dividend payments. This means that those shareholders receiving their dividend direct into their bank account will receive an ADC once a year detailing all payments made throughout that year.
Overseas Payment Service
If you are an overseas shareholder you can choose to have your dividend paid directly into your bank account in your local currency by using our registrar's Overseas Payment Service. This service will mean that you receive your dividend quicker than by cheque and there is no chance that the payment will be lost in the postal system. Full details of the Overseas Payment Service are available at help.shareview.co.uk where you can download the terms and conditions and appropriate form for completion. Alternatively you can contact Equiniti on +44(0)121 415 0959.
