Dividend Declaration
The Board of Personal Assets Trust plc has today declared a first interim dividend for the year ended 30 April 2010 of £2.55 per share. The dividend will be paid on 22 October 2009 to shareholders on the register on 2 October 2009. The ex-dividend date will be 30 September 2009.
The Board's stated dividend policy is for the present dividend rate to grow in real terms and never to cut the dividend rate, so shareholders know that each half-yearly payment will at least equal the previous one. Therefore, the second interim dividend for the year ended 30 April 2010, expected to be paid in April 2010, will be at least £2.55 per share and the total dividend for the year will be not less than £5.10.
