Jupiter European Opportunities Trust PLC
At a board meeting today of Jupiter European Opportunities Trust PLC (the "Company") the Directors declared an interim dividend for the year ended 31 May 2013 of 3.5p (net) per Ordinary share (2012: 1.85p) payable on 27 September 2013. The dividend will be paid to shareholders who appear on the Register of Members on 23 August 2013.
Shareholders will recall that it is not the Company's investment objective to pay dividends, but inasmuch as it ends the year with surplus income that surplus is paid out to shareholders. As was the case last year in order to ensure the Company's continuing status with HM Revenue and Customs as an investment trust under Section 1158 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 the Company is prohibited from retaining more than 15% of its eligible investment income from one financial year to the next.
