Dividend Declaration

3 May 2023

The Board of GCP Asset Backed, which invests in asset backed loans, is pleased to announce a quarterly dividend in respect of the period from 1 January 2023 to 31 March 2023 of 1.58125 pence per ordinary share (the "Q1 Dividend").

The ordinary shares will go ex-dividend on 11 May 2023 and will be paid on 12 June 2023 to holders of ordinary shares recorded on the register as at close of business on 12 May 2023.

Scrip Dividend Suspension

The Board, in its discretion, has determined that the offer of a scrip dividend will remain suspended for the Q1 Dividend. The suspension is as a result of the discount between the likely scrip dividend reference price of the shares and the current net asset value per share of the Company. The Board will keep the payment of future scrip dividends under review.
