Key dates for the distribution include an ex-distribution date of 29 June, record date on 30 June, and payment set for 16 September.
Securityholders in Australia and New Zealand will receive payments via direct credit, so it's a good idea to check and update banking details with APA's registry if needed.

APA continues to position itself as a key partner in Australia's energy infrastructure, with more than $20 billion in assets across gas transmission, renewable energy, and electricity assets. The company's ongoing investment in critical energy networks is likely to remain a focus.
