According to the ASX announcement on 11 October 2022, the agenda for this year’s AGM meeting was to push Telstra’s corporate restructuring. Telstra's T22 plan included restructuring as a key component, and it continues to do so in the company's recently released T25 strategy. This restructuring is also a crucial next step in the company's drive to increase infrastructure asset transparency while sharpening management attention on customer businesses as well as infrastructure. Telstra anticipates achieving more freedom through this restructuring plan so that it can eventually increase value for its shareholders.
The company's shareholders have also approved the scheme of arrangement being utilised to aid this corporate restructuring.
Following the successful completion of T22 and the momentum in its core business, Telstra also boosted its dividend for the first time in seven years
Talking about this dividend development, Andy Penn, CEO, Telstra, said:
