Dividends
Your Board is proposing a final dividend for the year ended 28 February 2026 of 1.6p per share to be paid on 14 August 2026 to Shareholders on the register on 17 July 2026. The payment of this dividend is subject to Shareholder approval at the Company’s forthcoming AGM, details of which can be found below.

The payment of this dividend will result in an equivalent reduction in the Company’s NAV per share. The total tax-free dividends of 3.1p per share for the year ended 28 February 2026 represents a cash return to Shareholders of 5.1% on the opening NAV per share at 1 March 2025, after deducting the prior year’s final dividend of 1.75p per share.
