MTN to pay GH¢3.176bn as dividend to shareholders

MTN Ghana will pay GH¢3.176 billion as dividend to shareholders for the 2024 financial year.

This is coming after the board recommended a gross final dividend of GH¢0.24 per share to shareholders for the period to 31^st December 2024. It is however subject to shareholders approval.

The telecom giant recorded a profit of GH¢ 5.028 billion in 2024.

MTN said in its 2024 Audited Financial Report that all dividends are subject to the deduction of the appropriate taxes. The number of ordinary shares in issue at the date of this declaration is 13,236,175,050.

All shareholders registered in the books of Scancom PLC at close of business on Thursday, 4^th April 2025, qualify for the final dividend.

In view of the foregoing, the ex-dividend date has been set as Wednesday, 2^nd April 2025. Consequently, an investor purchasing MTN Ghana shares before this date will be entitled to the final dividend.

However, an investor buying MTN Ghana shares on or after Wednesday, 2nd April 2025 will not be entitled to the final dividend.

On Wednesday, April 16 2025, the dividend will be transferred electronically to the bank accounts or mobile money wallets of shareholders who make use of these facilities.
