Company Update

Quarterly Net Asset Value 29 February 2020

The Company announces that its unaudited Net Asset Value ("NAV") per share as at 29 February 2020 on a cum-income basis was 82.95 pence (this represents a decrease of 0.96% on the net asset value as at 30 November 2019).

Dividend Policy

The Board can confirm that an interim dividend of 1.5p per share was distributed to all shareholders on 1 June 2020.  The Board also intends that the Company will make the required distributions to continue to comply with the investment trust qualification requirements for the current financial year, in which an investment trust must not retain in respect of an accounting period an amount which is greater than 15% of its income for the accounting period.

Therefore, while no decision has yet been taken as to the timing of dividend payments during the remainder of the financial year to 30 November 2020, shareholders can be assured that a balancing dividend payment or payments would be declared over the coming months, so as to at least fulfil the investment trust qualification requirements described above.
