Final Results Amendment to record date for prop...

Murray VCT 4 PLC Preliminary Results - Amendment The following amends the Preliminary Results announcement released on 12 May 2005 at 12:45 pm, under RNS number 2312M. In the Preliminary Announcement of the results for the year ended 28 February 2005, the Directors of Murray VCT 4 PLC recommended a final dividend of 0.6p per share, to be paid on 22 July 2005 to Shareholders on the register on 22 June 2005. The Directors now advise of a correction to the record date, which should be 24 June 2005; the payment date and all other details remain as previously announced and the amended text from the relevant section of the Preliminary Announcement appears below. Dividends and returns to date The Board declared an interim dividend for the year ended 28 February 2005 of 0.5pps (2004 - 0.5pps), which was paid to Shareholders on 10 December 2004. The Board is proposing a final dividend of 0.6pps (2004 - 1.2pps), to be paid on 22 July 2005 to Shareholders on the register at close of business on 24 June 2005. Since the Company's launch, most Shareholders will have received 10.6pps in tax- free dividends. The total return since launch is 86.3pps, being the sum of dividends paid plus NAV, for a Shareholder who subscribed at launch at an effective initial investment cost of 80pps. The most important measures for a VCT are the long term record of income and capital gains dividend payments and the timing of these payments over the life of the Company. In the short term, the NAV on its own is a less important measure of performance as the underlying investments are long-term in nature and not readily realisable.
