Declaration of Fourth Interim Dividend

 

 

Highlights

 

·    Dividend yield of 6.2%.

·    Quarterly interim dividend of 4.46p per share.

·    Share price total return of 30.0% for the year ended 31 December
2025.

 

The Board is pleased to declare a fourth quarterly interim dividend of 4.46p
per share for the year ended 31 December 2025. This is the fourth dividend
payment announced by the Company since the introduction of the enhanced
dividend policy in January 2025, 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. Taking into account the
first, second and third interim dividends already paid, this amounts to a
total dividend of 16.24p per share for the year ended 31 December 2025 and
equates to a dividend yield of 6.2%.

 

The Board is also pleased that the Company delivered a share price total
return of 30.0% for the year ended 31 December 2025, demonstrating strong
capital returns in addition to the dividends paid during the year.

 

The fourth interim dividend will be paid on 20 February 2026 to shareholders
on the register at the close of business on 23 January 2026. The ex-dividend
date is 22 January 2026. 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 30 January 2026.

 

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 fourth
quarterly interim dividend of 4.46p per share is based on 1.5625% of the
Company's unaudited NAV of 285.53p per share as at 31 December 2025. The
dividend yield of 6.2% is based on a share price of 264p on 31 December 2025.
