A circular will be sent to shareholders explaining the terms of the scrip dividend alternative. It is intended that the circular together with scrip dividend election forms will be mailed on or about 26 September 2014 to all eligible INPP shareholders on the register as at the record date for the dividend being 19 September 2014.

The Board of Directors has established a minimum target for 2014 and 2015 distributions of 6.30 pence per share and 6.45 pence per share (respectively), providing additional guidance to investors as to the Company's future intentions. The targeted payments would represent a minimum c.2.5% increase on the preceding distributions and would continue to be in line with the growth target indicated at the time of INPP's IPO in 2006.
