Seplat Energy Plc has declared a total dividend of 19 US cents per ordinary share, comprising an interim dividend of five cents and a special dividend of 14 cents, for shareholders whose names appear in its register as of November 12, 2026.
The combined dividend of 19 US cents represents the total distribution announced for the period ended September 30, 2026 with the payments, which are subject to applicable withholding tax made to shareholders holding the company’s ordinary shares of 50 kobo each.
Seplat Energy said the qualification date for the dividends is the close of business on November 12, 2026, while its register of shareholders will be closed on November 13 to allow its registrar, DataMax Registrars Limited, to prepare for payment.
How Seplat Shareholders Will Receive Dividends
Seplat Energy said the dividends will be paid in Nigerian naira or US dollars, depending on where the shares are held and the shareholder’s documentation.
Shareholders holding shares on the Nigerian Exchange Limited without a valid Certificate of Capital Importation (CCI) will receive their dividends in naira by default.
Those with a valid CCI will receive their dividends in US dollars by default, provided they submit evidence of the certificate to DataMax. However, they may elect to receive the entire dividend payment in naira. Partial elections between the two currencies are not permitted.
Investors holding Seplat Energy shares through depositary interests on the London Stock Exchange will receive their dividends in US dollars by default.
