Aradel Holdings Plc has announced a final dividend of ₦23.00 per share for the financial year ended December 31, 2025, bringing the company’s total dividend payout for the year to ₦33.00 per share.
The proposed final dividend is subject to applicable withholding tax and shareholder approval at the company’s forthcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM).
According to a corporate action announcement released by the company, shareholders whose names appear in the Register of Members at the close of business on July 9, 2026, will qualify for the dividend payment.
Aradel stated that its Register of Shareholders will be closed on July 10, 2026, to enable the company determine eligible shareholders entitled to receive the dividend.
The company scheduled the dividend payment for July 31, 2026. Qualified shareholders who have completed the e-dividend registration process and mandated the registrar to pay dividends directly into their bank accounts will receive payment electronically on the same day.
Aradel urged shareholders who have not yet enrolled for the e-dividend platform to complete the process through its registrar, Coronation Registrars Limited, to facilitate seamless payment.
The company also advised investors with outstanding dividend warrants or unclaimed share certificates to contact the registrar and regularize their records.
In addition, Aradel Holdings disclosed that its Annual General Meeting will hold on July 30, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., while details of the venue will be communicated to shareholders in due course.
The dividend announcement follows the company’s strong financial performance for the 2025 financial year, during which Aradel reported a profit after tax of ₦757.3 billion, representing a 192 percent increase compared to ₦259.1 billion recorded in 2024.
