Notice of Interim Dividend

 

 

The Company hereby announces the payment of its fourth quarterly interim dividend in 2019 of 1.4 pence per ordinary share of 12.5 pence each ("Ordinary Shares").  The dividend will comprise a Property Income Distribution (PID) of 0.5 pence per share and an ordinary dividend of 0.9 pence per share.  The Company will be offering a scrip alternative with this dividend.

Ordinary Shares held in certificated form

 

Shareholders wishing to elect for the scrip dividend alternative, who hold their shares in certificated form and who have not previously completed a scrip mandate form, or, who have done so but subsequently have withdrawn a scrip mandate form, should complete and return a scrip mandate form which must be returned to the Company's registrars, Equiniti, at the address given on the form by the Election Date set out below.

Shareholders, who at the Scheme Effective Date held MedicX Shares and Ordinary Shares, are reminded that under the terms of the Scheme any mandates or instructions applicable to their holding of Ordinary Shares shall apply to any new Ordinary Shares issued to them pursuant to the Scheme and accordingly, if they have not previously completed a scrip mandate form in respect of their Ordinary Shares, or, who have done so but subsequently have withdrawn a scrip mandate form, should, if they wish to receive the scrip dividend alternative, complete and return a scrip mandate form which must be returned to the Company's registrars, Equiniti, at the address given on the form by the Election Date set out below.
