LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT
F&C INVESTMENT TRUST PLC
FIRST INTERIM DIVIDEND FOR 2022
LEI: 213800W6B18ZHTNG7371
Information disclosed in accordance with DTR 6.1.13
The Directors of the Company have resolved that the first interim dividend for the year ending 31 December 2022 will be a payment of 3.20 pence per ordinary share (2021: 3.00 pence per share). The dividend will be paid on 1 August 2022 to shareholders registered at the close of business on 1 July 2022. Please note this payment will include a Dividend Re-investment Plan facility, for which the election date will be 11 July 2022.
As explained in the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021, 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.
