Impact Healthcare REIT plc is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") which aims to provide shareholders with an attractive return, principally in the form of quarterly income distributions and with the potential for capital and income growth, through exposure to a diversified portfolio of UK healthcare real estate opportunities, in particular residential care homes. The Group's investment policy is to acquire, renovate, extend and redevelop high quality healthcare real estate assets in the UK and lease those assets primarily to healthcare operators providing residential healthcare services under full repairing and insuring leases.
The Group has now declared or paid seven quarterly dividends of 1.50 pence per share since IPO on 7 March 2017.
The Company will seek to grow the target dividend in line with the inflation-linked rental uplifts received by the Group under the terms of the rent review provisions contained in the Group's leases in the prior financial year.
The Company is listed on the premium listing segment of the Official List of the UK Financial Conduct Authority and was admitted to trading on the Main Market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange in February 2019.
