Spark pays dividends on a semi-annual basis. A 75% imputed ordinary dividend of 11 cents per share was declared for H1 FY19, together with a 75% imputed special dividend of 1.5 cents per share.
For FY19, subject to there being no material adverse changes in operating outlook, Spark anticipates paying an annual total dividend of 25 cents per share. This is likely to be made up of an ordinary dividend determined by earnings, topped up by a special dividend to maintain a total dividend of 25 cents per share. It is currently anticipated that the FY19 ordinary and special dividend will be at least 75% imputed. The dividend reinvestment plan remains suspended.
