Elections for first interim dividend
Experian plc is reminding shareholders that the deadline for submitting elections regarding their first interim dividend of 21.25 US cents per ordinary share is 9 January 2026. Shareholders must make their choices by this date if they wish to receive UK-sourced dividends via Income Access Share arrangements or opt to receive dividends in US dollars. Failure to elect for US dollars will result in dividends being paid in sterling at the exchange rate on 16 January 2026, and failure to elect for UK-sourced dividends may subject them to Irish dividend withholding tax unless an exemption form is provided.
