Declaration of Fourth Interim Dividend

Highlights

· Dividend yield of 6.2%.

· Share price total return of 30.0% for the year ended 31 December 2025.

The Board is pleased to declare a fourth quarterly interim dividend of 4.46p per share for the year ended 31 December 2025. This is the fourth dividend payment announced by the Company since the introduction of the enhanced dividend policy in January 2025, to broaden the appeal of the Company's shares to a wider range of investors and to reflect the sustained investor appetite for yield in the current interest rate environment. Taking into account the first, second and third interim dividends already paid, this amounts to a total dividend of 16.24p per share for the year ended 31 December 2025 and equates to a dividend yield of 6.2%.

The Board is also pleased that the Company delivered a share price total return of 30.0% for the year ended 31 December 2025, demonstrating strong capital returns in addition to the dividends paid during the year.

The fourth interim dividend will be paid on 20 February 2026 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 23 January 2026. The ex-dividend date is 22 January 2026. The Company offers the option for shareholders to invest their dividend in a Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP"), which is managed by the Company's Registrar, Computershare Investor Services PLC. The deadline for elections under the DRIP is 30 January 2026.

Note:

The Company's dividend policy, as announced on 16 January 2025, 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.
