RNS Number : 1301Z JPMorgan European Grwth & Inc PLC 01 April 2026
JPMorgan European Growth & Income plc
London Stock Exchange Announcement
Dividend for the year to 31(st) March 2027
Legal Entity Identifier: 549300D8SPJFHBDGXS57
Information disclosed in accordance with DTR 6.1.13
The Board is pleased to announce that it intends to pay dividends totalling
5.44 pence per share (four interim dividends of 1.36 pence per share) in
relation to its financial year commencing 1st April 2026. This is in line with
our policy of paying out a dividend based on 4.0% of the Company's preceding
year net asset value and represents an increase of 8.8% on the last financial
year's total dividend of 5.0 pence per share.
It is expected that the dividends will be paid by way of four equal
distributions, with the first interim dividend for the financial year ending
31st March 2027 of 1.36 pence per share, being paid on 5th June 2026 to
shareholders on the register at the close of business on 17th April 2026. The
ex-dividend date is 16th April 2026. The three other dividends are expected to
be paid in September, December and March.
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. The last date for the DRIP election in respect of the Company's
first interim dividend is 8th May 2026. For details on the DRIP, please
contact the Company's Registrar; Computershare Investor Services.
Rita Dhut, the Chair of the Company, commented on the Company's dividends for
the year ending 31st March 2027 as follows:
"It is the Board's intention to provide shareholders with a predictable and
regular dividend based on 4% of the preceding year end net asset value ("NAV")
per share. This represents an increase of 8.8% over the 5.0p paid in respect
of the last financial year.
Since we adopted the enhanced dividend policy in 2022, shareholders in the
Company have seen an increase in their dividends of 36.0%, equivalent to over
7.9% per annum, and we have delivered four consecutive annual dividend
increases.
Such an approach is available to the Company because to the extent that
brought forward revenue reserves are not sufficient, dividends can be paid
from distributable capital reserves, as permitted by the Company's Articles."

JPMorgan Funds Limited, Secretary
