Announcement of First Interim Dividend

The Directors of the Company have today declared an increased first interim dividend in respect of the year ending 31 December 2013 of 1.8p (2012 first interim 1.55p) which will be payable on 17 May 2013 to Ordinary shareholders on the register on 26 April 2013, ex-dividend date 24 April 2013.

In respect of the year ending 31 December 2013 and in the absence of unforeseen circumstances, the Board expects to maintain the current practice of declaring three quarterly dividends of equal amounts in April, July and October with a fourth balancing interim to be determined in January 2014.

It is intended that, in total, the first three interim dividend payments will represent an increase in the proportion of the Company's distributable revenue, so that shareholders will receive a greater proportion of the Company's dividend distributions earlier. At the present stage it is the Board's intention to pay a fourth interim dividend at least at the same level as last year but a final decision on this will be made, and announced, on or around 10 January 2014.

 

END
