First Interim Dividend
The Board of Shires Income PLC has declared a first interim dividend of 3.0p per share in respect of the year to 31 March 2010 (first interim 2009 - 4.4p) payable on 30 October 2009 to shareholders on the register at close of business on 9 October 2009. After careful consideration of the Company's projected income generation, the Board anticipates that the Company should be able to pay a dividend of 12.0p per share in the year to 31 March 2010. The Board believes this level of dividend is more sustainable in the current economic climate and more consistent with the objective of achieving growth in both capital and income.
