the 'Company')
Scrip Dividend for 2023/24 Final Dividend
National Grid today announces the scrip dividend reference price
for the 2023/24 final dividend. A timetable is provided
below.
For ordinary shareholders, the scrip dividend reference price for
the 2023/24 final dividend is 869.20 pence. This is calculated as
the average closing mid-market price of an ordinary share for the
five dealing days commencing with, and including, the ordinary
share ex-dividend date.
For American Depositary Receipt ('ADR') holders, the scrip ADR
reference price for the 2023/24 final dividend is US$55.4376. This
is calculated by multiplying the scrip dividend reference price
above by five (as there are five ordinary shares underlying each
ADR) and by the average US$ rate for the equivalent dates.
The current terms and conditions of the scrip dividend scheme are
available in the Investors section on the
Company's website and
from Equiniti (0800 169 7775).
