Change of name

The Directors of Chelverton Small Companies Dividend Trust PLC (the “Company”) are pleased to announce that the Company will be changing its name to Chelverton UK Dividend Trust PLC. The change of name is expected to become effective on 15 June 2018 and updated by the FCA and LSE on 18 June 2018. The Company’s investment policy remains unchanged.

The Directors believe that it better reflects the Company’s ethos of a UK income fund in the UK Equity Income sector as the Trust seeks an above average yield and capital growth. The Company will retain its existing ticker, “SDV”, and the ISIN and SEDOL numbers will not change. Existing share certificates remain valid and certificates in the new name will only be issued as required.

The name change has been approved by the board of directors, in accordance with the Company's articles of association.
