Dividend for the year to 30th June 2025

Legal Entity Identifier: 5493007C3I0O5PJKR078

Information disclosed in accordance with DTR 6.1.13

The Board is pleased to announce that it intends to pay dividends totalling 22.80 pence per share (5.70 pence per share per quarter) in relation to its financial year commencing 1st July 2024. This is in line with its policy of paying out 4.0% of the Company's net asset value as at 30th June 2024 and represents an increase of 23.6% on the last financial year's total dividend of 18.44 pence per share. This will be the ninth consecutive year that the dividend has been raised.

It is expected that the dividends will be paid by way of four equal distributions, with the first interim dividend for the financial year ending 30th June 2025 of 5.70 pence per share (for the period to 30th September 2024), being paid on 7th October 2024 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 30th August 2024. The ex-dividend date is 29th August 2024. The three other dividends are expected to be paid in January, April and July 2025.

Tristan Hillgarth, Chairman, commented:

"I am delighted to report a 23.6% increase in the Company's dividend for our current financial year. Since we adopted the enhanced dividend policy in 2016, shareholders in the Company have seen an increase in their dividends of 613%, equivalent to over 24% per annum, and we have delivered nine consecutive annual dividend increases.

"This growth is a function of the outstanding returns that our Portfolio Managers have generated over this period, assisted by the fact that they are unconstrained by the requirement to achieve a certain level of income. This allows them to select the 'best' stocks, rather than those that fit a specific income profile.

"Our capacity to part-fund dividends from our significant level of realised capital profits provides JGGI with the means to meet our shareholders' desire for income, combined with clarity over dividend payments for the coming year."

As a reminder, the Company offers the option for shareholders to invest their dividend in a Dividend Reinvestment Plan ('DRIP'), which is managed by the Company's registrar. For details on the DRIP, please contact the Company's Registrar, Computershare Investor Services.
