Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX Group) Plc has released its dividend policy in ensuring that shareholders received returns on their investments.  

The policy document, which was approved by the Group’s Board of Directors of NGX Group Plc and published on the company’s website was formulated in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, investment and tax legislations, codes of corporate governance, as well as internationally recognized best practices and principles. 

What NGX is saying  

  • According to the NGX Group policy document, “NGX Group, through its dividend policy, seeks to guarantee shareholder rights, especially as it relates to return on investment. The policy is developed to address issues relating to the determination and payment of dividends. The group shall apply the policy accordingly to determine any claim by any shareholder, individual or institution, regarding the dividend payouts by NGX Group subject to provisions in the Articles of Association of the Company”.  
  • In terms of the administration of dividends by the group, the policy document added that NGX Group will apply the policy on an annual basis to develop a transparent and methodological dividend consideration and payouts. “This approach will ensure that NGX Group has sufficient distributable profits and/or general reserves, as determined by a review of the company’s audited financial statements as well as consideration of other financial factors, prior to any declaration and/or payment of dividend.  
  • To this end, the policy will guide the NGX Group in its approach to distributing surplus funds from its distributable profits and/or general reserves to shareholders, as may be determined by the profit and availability of cash for distribution; operating, and investment needs of the company; anticipated future growth and earnings of the company; and provisions of the company’s Articles of Association among others”, the company added. 
  • The NGX Group policy document provided guidance on the dividend payable in cash in a year. According to the document, “the range of dividend payable in cash will be between a pay-out ratio of 25 and 75 per cent of the distributable profit of the same year to which the dividend is applicable. In addition, the policy indicated that the Group’s Board of Directors may recommend a scrip (bonus) issue in any year and in any ratio as it deems fit for any year through the capitalization of any undistributed retained earnings, wherein the board, in recommending a bonus issue, shall maintain a balance between the paid-up capital and the undistributed retained earnings”. 
  • In keeping with best practices in corporate governance, the policy delegated the responsibility for the decision to pay dividends to the board of directors and the annual general meeting (AGM). 
  • The policy document stated, “The decision to declare and pay dividend, including the procedure for making dividend payments, shall be approved at the annual general meeting (AGM) of shareholders, upon the recommendation of the board of directors. The board of directors may, in its discretion, declare an interim dividend based on profits arrived at as per quarterly or half-yearly unaudited financial results, noting that where no final dividend is declared, the interim Dividend shall be regarded as the final dividend in the AGM”.  
  • The document equally provided guidance on the date for when shareholders should expect to receive dividends to be paid by NGX, stating, “dividend is to be paid on the date in which the AGM holds in the year that dividend is declared or at any other date that the shareholders at AGM shall approve and no interest shall accrue on any unclaimed dividend”.
