Transcorp Plc 2025 Dividend: ₦2.00 Per Share, New Key Dates
Transnational Corporation Plc has amended its earlier corporate action notice, bringing forward key dividend dates including the qualification date to April 27, 2026 and payment date to May 8, 2026. Retail investors who want to qualify for the ₦1.60 final dividend must ensure their names are on the register before the new earlier deadline.
Transnational Corporation Plc has filed an amended corporate action notice dated April 9, 2026, revising several key dates tied to its 2025 full-year dividend. The company is proposing a final dividend of ₦1.60 per ordinary share for the period ended December 31, 2025.
This is on top of an interim dividend of ₦0.40 per share already paid on August 19, 2025, bringing the total 2025 dividend to ₦2.00 per ordinary share — subject to shareholder approval at the AGM. The AGM itself has been moved forward to May 8, 2026, at Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja, the same day dividends will be paid electronically.
The willingness to pay a combined ₦2.00 per share signals that management is confident in the group's 2025 earnings performance. The amendment, which accelerates rather than delays all key dates, suggests operational readiness on the part of the company and its registrar, Africa Prudential Plc.
Investors should note that the qualification date is now Monday, April 27, 2026 — anyone buying shares after that date will not qualify for the final dividend. Shareholders who have not completed e-dividend registration should do so urgently via Africa Prudential's portal or NIBSS to avoid missing the May 8 electronic payment.
