Dividend Announcement

The Directors of EJF Investments Limited ("EJFI" or the "Company") are pleased to announce they have declared a dividend of 2.4p per share in respect of the period to 31 March 2017.  The dividend will be payable to shareholders on the register as at close of business on 28 April 2017, and the corresponding ex-dividend date will be 27 April 2017.  This represents EJFI's maiden dividend following a restructuring and subsequent admission to trading on the Specialist Fund Segment of the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange plc ("Admission").

EJFI's registrar is in the process of arranging a facility for dividends to be payable in USD to those shareholders that elect to receive their dividends in this currency, using the spot rate on the date the Company funds the dividend to the registrar, otherwise payments will by default be made in GBP. Following the conclusion of this process, the dividend is anticipated to be paid in May. Subsequent dividend announcements and scheduled payments are expected to be announced on a regular quarterly basis.

The Company targets dividend payments which equate to a yield of six per cent. per annum based on the Company's NAV on Admission which was 141p per share.
