The ex-dividend date will be 21 January 2021 with a record date of 22 January 2021. This dividend will be paid as a Property Income Distribution ("PID") in respect of the Company's tax-exempt property rental business.

At the Annual General Meeting held on 11 November 2020, shareholders approved the introduction of a scrip dividend scheme (the "Scheme").
