Norman Hay plc is pleased to announce that the Board has decided that it is in the interests of shareholders to pay a second interim dividend of 2.3p per ordinary share of 10 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") instead of a final year dividend for the year ended 31 December 2009 in order to bring the income forward into the current tax year.

The second interim dividend will be paid on 26 March 2010 to all ordinary shareholders on the register at the close of business on 12 March 2010. The Ordinary Shares will be marked ex dividend on 10 March 2010.

Future dividend payments will be paid in line with the normal dividend schedule.
