Special interim dividend
The Board of Utilico Emerging Markets Trust plc (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has declared a special interim dividend of 2.50p per ordinary share in respect of the year ended 31 March 2026. The special interim dividend will be paid on 14 August 2026 to shareholders on the register on 17 July 2026. The ex-dividend date will be 16 July 2026.
As set out in the Company's Report and Accounts published today, the year to 31 March 2026 was a particularly strong one for the Company's revenue return. By choosing to pay both a higher level of quarterly dividends and a special interim dividend, the Board seeks to pass on the benefit of the exceptionally high level of dividends received from a number of the Company's investments, while also safeguarding the Company's ability to continue to progressively grow the quarterly dividend at a sustainable rate in the future, in line with the Board's objectives.
