DIVIDEND DECLARATION AND UPDATE

The Board of Directors of the Company has declared an interim dividend of 1.50 pence per share for the three-month period to 30 June 2016, including 0.50p contributed from the Company's other distributable reserves.  The dividend will be paid on 20 September 2016 to shareholders on the register as at 26 August 2016. The ex-dividend date is 25 August 2016.

The Company has elected to designate all of the interim dividend for the period to 30 June 2016 as an interest distribution to its shareholders, thereby "streaming" income from interest-bearing investments into dividends that will be taxed in the hands of shareholders as interest income.  Investors who are eligible to receive the distribution without deduction of UK tax should complete the Declaration of Eligibility Form, which can be found on the Company's website (http://vpcspecialtylending.com/vpc-pdf/gross-interest-distributions-declaration-of-eligibility-form/) and promptly return the form to Capita Asset Services at the address detailed in the form. The form must be received no later than 24 August 2016 to be eligible for this dividend.
