First dividend - 5.4p a share
It has been a challenging but successful year. On 10 July 2006, Standard Life demutualised after members of The Standard Life Assurance Company voted decisively in favour of this important step forward.
Having worked hard to prepare strong foundations for our successful future as a plc, we are pleased with our financial results for 2006. These show excellent improvements in profitability across the Group.
Our progress since flotation reaffirms our confidence in our future business prospects and we look forward to sharing that success with our shareholders over the coming years.
We are recommending the payment of our first dividend of 5.4p a share on 31 May 2007, covering the period from flotation to 31 December 2006.
