Dividend Declaration

Summary by AI ^BETAClose X

Schroder Oriental Income Fund Limited has declared a second interim dividend of 2.5 pence per share for the year ending 31 August 2026, an increase from the first interim dividend of 2.0 pence per share. This adjustment aims to provide shareholders with a smoother dividend distribution throughout the financial year, without altering the company's overall progressive dividend policy. The ex-dividend date is 23 April 2026, with a record date of 24 April 2026 and a payment date of 12 May 2026. The company anticipates the third interim dividend will be similar to the second, leading to a smaller proportion of the total annual distribution being paid as the final dividend.

Second interim dividend

For the year ending 31 August 2026

Schroder Oriental Income Fund Limited ("the Company") announces that the directors of the Company have declared the payment of a second interim dividend of 2.5 pence per share for the year ending 31 August 2026 on the ordinary shares of the Company.

Ex-dividend date:	23 April 2026
Record date:	24 April 2026
Payment date:	12 May 2026
Dividend per share:	2.5 pence

In February, the Board reviewed the Company's distribution profile and noted that dividend payments had become disproportionately weighted towards the year end. Accordingly, the increase in the second interim dividend from 2.0 pence per share (the first interim dividend) to 2.5 pence per share reflects the Board's intention to provide shareholders with a smoother dividend distribution in the financial year ending 31 August 2026. There is no change to the Company's overall progressive dividend policy.

Consistent with this, and subject to the Company's distributable income, market conditions and the Board's ongoing assessment, the Board currently expects the third interim dividend to be broadly in line with the second interim dividend. As a result, the final dividend is expected to represent a smaller proportion of the total annual distribution than in recent years with the size of the final dividend being determined in light of the payments made throughout the year rather than simply by looking at the final dividend from last year.
