Interim Dividend to be paid in place of the Final Dividend

The Company refers to its Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2025, which stated that a final dividend of 4.7 pence per ordinary share would be proposed for shareholder approval at the forthcoming annual general meeting to be held on 10 June 2026.

4.7 pence per ordinary share will still be paid to shareholders based on the same timetable set out in the Annual Report (including ex-dividend date, record date and payment date).

However, the Company has identified that the resolution to approve the proposed final dividend was inadvertently not included in the notice of annual general meeting.  Accordingly, the proposed final dividend cannot be put to shareholders for approval at that meeting as originally intended.  In light of this the Board has determined to withdraw the proposed final dividend.

In order to ensure that shareholders receive the expected distribution and to maintain the Company's investment trust status, the Board has today resolved to declare an interim dividend of 4.7 pence per ordinary share.

As noted above, the interim dividend will be paid on the same timetable as the withdrawn final dividend, namely:

·      Ex-dividend date: 14 May 2026

·      Record date: 15 May 2026

·      Payment date: 25 June 2026

This does not affect the total dividend payable to shareholders for the year, nor the Company's dividend policy.
