From: Personal Assets Trust plc
Date: 2 June 2011
The Board of Personal Assets Trust plc has today declared a first quarterly dividend for the year to 30 April 2012 of £1.35 per share. The dividend will be paid on 22 July 2011 to shareholders on the register on 10 June 2011. The ex-dividend date will be 8 June 2011.
The Board's stated dividend policy is for the present dividend rate to grow over the long term in real terms relative to both the CPI and RPI and never to cut the dividend rate, so shareholders know that each payment will at least equal the previous one. The second quarterly dividend for the year ended 30 April 2012, expected to be paid in October 2011, will be at least £1.35 per share and the total dividend for the year will be not less than £5.40.
