The notice, issued to the GSE on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, under Press Release No. 065/2026, sets out an agenda that includes the approval of a final dividend of GHS0.40 per share for the financial year ended December 31, 2025, representing a 67 percent increase on the GHS0.24 per share paid the previous year. The total dividend payout proposed by the board amounts to GHS5.29 billion. The board resolved and recommended the dividend at its meeting on February 26, 2026. The ex-dividend date falls on March 24, with payment scheduled for April 10, 2026, to shareholders on the register as at March 26, 2026.
Beyond the dividend vote, shareholders will be asked to receive and consider the company’s audited financial statements and the reports of the directors and auditors for the 2025 financial year, approve directors’ fees of GHS13.7 million for 2026, and authorise the board to fix the remuneration of the auditor, Ernst and Young Ghana, for the year ending December 31, 2026.
Four directors are standing for re-election after retiring by rotation. Dr. Ishmael Yamson is proposed for re-election as Non-Executive Director. Mrs. Antoinette Kwofie is proposed for re-election as Executive Director. Mr. Kofi Dadzie and Mr. Felix Addo are each proposed for re-election as Independent Non-Executive Directors.
The meeting also carries one item of special business: the approval of a revised Non-Executive Directors’ Fee Policy, required under Paragraph 15(1) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Corporate Governance Code, which obliges listed companies to put director remuneration policies to a shareholder vote.
