Dividend Declaration

08 February 2024

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 October 2023 to 31 December 2023 of 1.58125 pence per ordinary share (the "Q4 Dividend").

The ordinary shares will go ex-dividend on 15 February 2024 and will be paid on 15 March 2024 to holders of ordinary shares recorded on the register as at close of business on 16 February 2024.

Scrip Dividend Suspension

The Board, in its discretion, has determined that the offer of a scrip dividend will remain suspended for the Q4 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.
