Declaration of Dividend
Foresight Solar is also pleased to announce a first interim dividend, in respect of the period 1 January 2020 to 31 March 2020, of 1.72 pence per ordinary share (the "Dividend"). The shares will go ex-dividend on 30 July 2020 and the Dividend will be paid on 28 August 2020 to shareholders on the register as at the close of business on 31 July 2020.
Foresight Solar confirms its dividend target of 6.91 pence per ordinary share for 2020.
Full details of the scrip dividend alternative that is being offered in respect of the Dividend (the "Scrip Offer") and the Scrip Dividend Scheme can be found in the Scrip Dividend Alternative Offer Document (the "Scrip Document") available on the Company's website at https://fsfl.foresightgroup.eu/investor-relations/dividend-history/. The Scrip Document is also available on the National Storage Mechanism website at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism and copies are also available for inspection at JTC House, 28 Esplanade, St. Helier, Jersey JE2 3QA.
The reference price of the new shares issued under the Scrip Offer will be calculated and published on or around 6 August 2020.
Shareholders will receive the Dividend in cash, unless they have previously completed a standing election (a "Form of Election") to receive new shares pursuant to the Scrip Offer.
