Dividend and Capital Repayment

The Board of CT UK High Income Trust PLC announces a first quarter dividend in respect of the financial year to 31 March 2024 of 1.32 pence per Ordinary share. This dividend will be paid on 4 August 2023 to Ordinary shareholders on the register on 7 July 2023, with an ex-dividend date of 6 July 2023. 

A first quarter capital repayment of 1.32 pence per B share will be paid on 4 August 2023 to B shareholders on the register on 7 July 2023, with an ex-dividend date of 6 July 2023. Capital repayments on B shares are paid at the same time and in an amount equal to each dividend paid on an Ordinary share.  

This represents an unchanged dividend / capital repayment from the first quarter of the prior financial year to 31 March 2023.

The normal pattern for the Company is to pay four quarterly interim distributions per financial year.

At this stage and in the absence of unforeseen circumstances, the Company currently intends that the second and third quarter distributions will each be 1.32 pence per share and that the aggregate distribution for the financial year to 31 March 2024 will be at least 5.51 pence per share (Financial year to 31 March 2023: 5.51 pence per share).
