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.
