Reckitt Benckiser Group Plc have announced that at the General Meeting to be held on 27th January 2026, it will put forward proposals to return approximately £1.6 billion to shareholders by way of a proposed Special Dividend of 235 pence per existing ordinary share, alongside a consolidation of the Company’s share capital at a rate of 24 new ordinary shares for every 25 existing ordinary shares.
The effect of the share consolidation will be to reduce the number of existing ordinary shares in issue by approximately the same proportion of market capitalisation returned via the Special Dividend.
Should the proposals be passed, the share consolidation is expected to take effect on 2nd February 2026, with the Special Dividend being paid on 20th February 2026.
