FIRST INTERIM DIVIDEND FOR 2021

The Directors of the Company have resolved that the first interim dividend for the year ending 31 December 2021 will be a payment of 3.00 pence per ordinary share, which compares with a 2.90 pence per share first interim dividend this time last year. The dividend will be paid on 2 August 2021 to shareholders registered at the close of business on 16 July 2021. Please note this payment will include a Dividend Re-investment Plan facility, for which the election date will be 23 July 2021.

As explained in the Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020, the Company has substantial revenue reserves and can therefore support dividend payments that are not covered by current year income. With this significant investment trust advantage over many open-ended funds, the Company remains well positioned in continuing to deliver dividend rises to shareholders over the longer term.
