Declaration of Second Interim Dividend

 

 

Highlights

 

·    Annualised dividend yield of 6.8%.

·    Second quarterly interim dividend of 3.84p per share.

 

The Board has declared a second quarterly interim dividend of 3.84p per share
for the year ended 31 December 2025, which will be paid on 22 August 2025 to
shareholders on the register at the close of business on 25 July 2025. The
ex-dividend date is 24 July 2025.

 

Based on a share price of 223p on 30 June 2025, and taking into account the
first interim dividend already paid, this equates to an annualised dividend
yield of 6.8%.

 

This is the second dividend payment announced by the Company following the
introduction of the enhanced dividend policy earlier this year, to broaden the
appeal of the Company's shares to a wider range of investors and to reflect
the sustained investor appetite for yield in the current interest rate
environment.

 

The Company offers the option for shareholders to invest their dividend in a
Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP"), which is managed by the Company's
Registrar, Computershare Investor Services PLC. The deadline for elections
under the DRIP is 1 August 2025.

 

Note:

The Company's dividend policy, as announced on 16 January 2025, is to set the
dividend at 1.5625% per quarter of the Company's net asset value ("NAV"),
equating to approximately 6.25% of NAV per annum. The dividend is calculated
using the Company's NAV on the last business day of the preceding financial
quarter (i.e. the end of March, June, September and December). The second
quarterly interim dividend of 3.84p per share is based on 1.5625% of the
Company's NAV of 246.02p per share as at 30 June 2025.
