Dividend Increase for the year ending 30 April 2026

 

The Board of Invesco Asia Dragon Trust plc (the "Company") is pleased to
announce its intention to increase the Company's dividend for the financial
year ending 30 April 2026.

Whilst cognisant of the Company's stated dividend policy, which anticipates
the payment of an annual dividend equal to approximately 4.0 per cent. of the
NAV per Share as at the end of the preceding financial year, the Board also
recognises that the Company has significant distributable reserves available
to it, providing flexibility to support the payment of a dividend in excess of
that 4.0 per cent. figure when the Board believes it appropriate.

Conscious of the value placed upon a progressive dividend by many of the
Company's shareholders, the Board is pleased to confirm its intention to
increase the dividends in respect of the financial year ending 30 April 2026
to 15.8 pence per share, such aggregate annual dividend equating to 4.4 per
cent. of the Company's NAV per Share as at 30 April 2025.  This represents an
increase of 0.2p per Share (or 1.3 per cent.) on the dividend paid in the
previous financial year.

It is intended that four equal distributions of 3.95 pence per Share will be
paid in each of July, October, January and April of the Company's current
financial year.

The first interim dividend of 3.95 pence per share will be paid on 25 July
2025 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 11 July 2025.
The shares will be marked ex-dividend on 10 July 2025.
