Dividend and dividend outlook for the current financial year

14 July 2022

The Board of The North American Income Trust plc has declared a first interim dividend of 2.5p per share in respect of the year to 31 January 2023, which is payable on 5 August 2022 to shareholders on the register at close of business on 22 July 2022.  The ex-dividend date is 21 July 2022.

The Board currently expects to pay two further quarterly dividends each of 2.5p and a fourth quarterly interim dividend of at least 3.1p, making a total dividend of at least 10.6p for the year to 31 January 2023. The amount of the fourth quarterly dividend will be determined once the results for the financial year are known, but the Board is looking to continue to build on the track record of ten consecutive years of dividend growth and to pay dividends more evenly over the year.

The North American Income Trust plc is managed by Aberdeen Standard Fund Managers Limited.
