Financial Calendar

If you intend to purchase M&S shares and want them to be eligible for the January dividend payment, you should initiate your purchase before this date. This is because in the UK it takes two days for a share purchase to register after it has been executed by the buyer. Share purchases made on or after this date will not be eligible for the following January dividend payment.

The number of shares held in your name on this date will be used to calculate the amount of dividend you will receive in January. Any shares purchased after this date will not be eligible for inclusion in your dividend calculation.

If you would prefer to use your dividend payments to purchase additional shares in M&S, you can elect to join our Dividend Reinvestment Plan (“DRiP”) by contacting Equiniti on 0345 609 0810.

If your dividends are paid by BACS you will receive cleared funds on this date.

Shares acquired through participation in the DRiP will be posted to CREST accounts four working days after the payment date.
