The Board of abrdn Smaller Companies Income Trust plc declare a first interim
dividend of  2.40p per share in respect of the year to 31 December 2022
(first interim 2021: 2.15p) payable on 25 April 2022 to shareholders on the
register at close of business on 8 April 2022. The ex-date is 7 April 2022.

 

The Board continues to believe that a key purpose of the Company is the
generation of income for its shareholders and therefore maintaining the
dividend is valuable to shareholders. We shall of course continue to monitor
the economic outlook closely each quarter, particularly in view of uncertainty
created by recent political events and the global Covid-19 pandemic. The Board
is cognisant that it may have to take a different decision for future
dividends, once greater clarity emerges of the outlook for the remainder of
2022 and 2023.

 

abrdn Smaller Companies Income Trust plc is managed by Aberdeen Standard Fund
Managers Limited.
