Shareholders who hold their shares on the main register are reminded that the Company's Registrar, Computershare Investor Services PLC, operates a dividend re-investment plan ("DRIP"). This can be a good way of building up a shareholding in the Company over time, whereby quarterly dividends are reinvested automatically in new shares. The deadline for elections under the DRIP is 30 April 2026.

Shareholders who hold their shares through a stockbroker or online dealing platform should be able to request for their dividends to be re-invested in a similar way, by contacting their stockbroker or selecting this option through their online dealing account.

Note:

The Company's dividend policy is to set the dividend at 1.5625% per quarter of the Company's net asset value ("NAV"), equating to approximately 6.25% of NAV per annum. The dividend is calculated using the Company's NAV on the last business day of the preceding financial quarter (i.e. the end of March, June, September and December). The first quarterly interim dividend of 4.47p per share is based on 1.5625% of the Company's NAV of 286.12p per share as at 31 March 2026.
