Standard Chartered Sets 2026 AGM, Proposes Final Dividend and Board Re-elections

An update from Standard Chartered ( (GB:STAN) ) is now available.

Standard Chartered has called its 2026 Annual General Meeting for 7 May in London, laying out a full slate of ordinary and special resolutions for shareholder approval, including reception of the 2025 annual report and accounts and a binding vote on a final dividend. The bank proposes a final dividend of 49 cents per ordinary share, to be paid in sterling, Hong Kong dollars or U.S. dollars on 14 May 2026, using forward FX rates for currency conversion and applying separate record dates for UK and Hong Kong registers.

Shareholders will also vote on an advisory approval of the directors’ remuneration report, the re-election of all continuing directors including Group Chair Maria Ramos and CEO Bill Winters, and the reappointment and fee-setting authority for auditor Ernst & Young. The board is further seeking precautionary authority for limited political donations and expenditure, stressing its policy not to make such donations, in order to avoid inadvertent breaches of UK company law while maintaining compliance across its global operations.
