THE BRUNNER INVESTMENT TRUST PLC
Year Ending 30 November 2021
The board has declared a first interim dividend of 4.7p per Ordinary Share, payable on 22 July 2021 to holders on the register at the close of business on 18 June 2021.
The board anticipates that the second and third interim dividends will be maintained at this rate, and an unchanged final dividend of 6.05p will be proposed for the year ending 30 November 2021, giving a dividend for the year of 20.15p, a small increase on the previous year.
As dividend payments for the year may not be fully covered by earnings per share we will be able to make a contribution in the year from the company's substantial accumulated revenue reserves. As mentioned in the latest Annual Report, revenue reserves are retained for this purpose and remain an important differentiator of the closed-end investment trust structure.
A Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP) is available for this dividend and the relevant Election Date is 2 July 2021.
