(the "Company")
DIVIDEND DECLARATION
The Board of Directors of the Company has declared an interim dividend of 2.00 pence per share for the three-month period to 31 March 2023. The dividend will be paid on 27 July 2023 to shareholders on the register as at 7 July 2023. The ex-dividend date is 6 July 2023.
The Company has elected to designate all of the interim dividend for the three-month period to 31 March 2023 as an interest distribution to its shareholders, thereby "streaming" income from interest-bearing investments into dividends that will be taxed in the hands of shareholders as interest income. No income tax will therefore be deducted at source from this, or from future interest distributions.
Based on existing market conditions, potential cash flows and on the assumption of continued strong portfolio performance, the Board currently expects to continue paying dividends at the current rate for at least a year and potentially longer. The Company intends to maintain its investment trust status during this managed realisation process prior to liquidation.
