2011 HALF YEAR DIVIDEND

The Board of International Public Partnerships Limited (INPP) today declared a distribution covering the period 1 January 2011 to 30 June 2011.

Distribution period:	1 January 2011 - 30 June 2011
Distribution amount per share:	2.925 pence
Ex-dividend date:	14 September 2011
Dividend record date:	16 September 2011
Last date to elect/revoke elections:	14 October 2011
Payment date/Allotment of scrip:	28 October 2011
Scrip Alternative in operation:	Yes

The 2011 half year distribution of 2.925 pence per share is in line with the target previously outlined by Directors and, as per previous periods, has been entirely funded through operating cash flow from the underlying projects.

The Board intend to offer a scrip dividend alternative for this distribution to those investors who wish to receive additional INPP securities in lieu of a cash payment. A circular will be sent to shareholders explaining the terms of the scrip dividend alternative. It is intended that the circular together with scrip dividend election forms will be mailed on or about 23 September 2011 to all eligible INPP shareholders on the register as at the record date for the dividend being 16 September 2011. The scrip dividend election forms will need to be completed and returned to Capita Registrars by 14 October 2011 by those investors who wish to receive shares in lieu of cash.

2011 Full Year Distribution

In December 2010, the Board of Directors provided indicative guidance for the target 2011 distribution of 5.85 pence per share which, if achieved, would be a 2.6% increase on the 2010 distribution and the fourth consecutive year INPP has increased distributions above the 2.5% growth target indicated at the time of INPP's IPO in 2006. The Board today reconfirms this guidance.  The second half of the 2011 distribution which is targeted to be 2.925 pence per share is expected to be paid in May 2012.

Note: The above distribution guidance is a target only and not a profit forecast. There can be no assurance that this target will be met or that the Company will make any distributions whatsoever. The times and dates in this announcement are expected times

and dates only and are subject to change. Any such changes will be notified to shareholders through a regulatory information service.
