SingPost shareholders bag higher dividends on back of enhanced payout scheme

It will distribute 7 cents per share in FY16.

SingPost’s shareholders will enjoy higher payouts after the company unveiled its enhanced dividend policy for FY16.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, SingPost aims to make a total annual dividend payout of 7 cents per share, higher than the current dividend per share of 6.25 cents.

The enhanced dividend will be paid out on a quarterly basis. The company  will pay dividends of 1.50 cents per share in the first three quarters of the year, up from 1.25 cents currently. SingPost will pay an unchanged dividend per share of 2.50 cents in the fourth quarter to bring the total dividend payout to 7 cents.

SingPost also declared a special dividend of 0.75 cents per share for FY15. This will raise the proposed total annual dividend from 6.25 cents per share to 7 cents per share and will be subject to the approval of shareholders at the 23rd Annual General Meeting.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
