Dividend mandates

Không hu thắngA dividend mandate form enables shareholders to give instructions for all future dividends on their shares to be paid directly to their sterling bank or building society account in the UK. If you would like your dividends to be paid in this way, you can arrange this either:

  1. By telephone (provided you own 2,500 shares or less). You will need your Shareholder Reference Number and a UK registered address; or
  2. By post – just complete the Dividend mandate form.

Không hu thắngThe above instructions need to be received by Equiniti before the record date for a dividend.

Overseas payment service

The Registrar's Overseas Payment Service enables you to receive your dividend directly into your bank account in your local currency by arrangement with Citibank Europe PLC. Please note that Equiniti will deduct a payment charge from each dividend payment before converting it into your chosen currency. Your dividend confirmation will be despatched in the normal manner.

This is a service that can be arranged in over 90 countries worldwide and it normally costs less than paying in a UK cheque. The dividend will be credited to your account automatically - normally just a few days after the company's dividend payment date.

Alternatively you can contact Equiniti on +44 (0) 121 415 7062 to request an application form and terms and conditions. Please have details of your shareholding and Shareholder Reference with you.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP)

Không hu thắngYou can elect to receive future dividends as shares rather than cash under Pearson's Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP). The DRIP allows shareholders to reinvest their cash dividends in shares bought on the London Stock Exchange. On each dividend payment date, the company buys shares in the market on your behalf using your cash dividend, having first deducted a percentage to cover stamp duty and administration fees. A share certificate will be sent to you within 10 working days after the dividend payment date.

Không hu thắngYou can participate by completing a DRIP mandate form which is available on the , along with full details of the plan, or by contacting the Registrar (contact details below). To be eligible for the next dividend, the Registrar must have received your completed form at least 15 days before.
