THIRD INTERIM DIVIDEND FOR 2020

The Directors of the Company have resolved that the third interim dividend for the year ending 31 December 2020 will be a payment of 2.90 pence per ordinary share, which compares with a 2.90 pence per share third interim dividend this time last year. The dividend will be paid on 1 February 2021 to shareholders registered at the close of business on 8 January 2021.  Please note this payment will include a Dividend Re-investment Plan facility, for which the election date will be 15 January 2021.

As indicated in the Interim Report for the year ending 31 December 2020, the Company has substantial revenue reserves with which to support dividend payments when not covered by current year income.  It is the Board's intention to make use of these reserves and shareholders can therefore expect an increased dividend for 2020 marking 50 consecutive years of increases and over 150 years of annual dividend payments.
