The Board of Directors reaffirms that it has established a minimum target for 2018 and 2019 distributions of 7.00 and 7.18 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.
Note: The above distribution guidance is provided by the Company in consultation with its Investment Advisor as a target only and is not a profit forecast. There can be no assurance that this target will be met or that the Company will make any distributions whatsoever.
