·    Annualised dividend yield of 6.5%.

·    Share price total return of 28.4% for the first nine months of the financial year.

The Board is pleased to declare a third quarterly interim dividend of 5.42p per share for the year ending 31 December 2026. Based on the share price of 323p on 30 September 2026, this represents an annualised dividend yield of 6.5%. The Company has also delivered a very healthy share price total return of 28.4% for the period from 31 December 2025 to 30 September 2026, being the first nine months of the financial year.  

The third interim dividend will be paid on 20 November 2026 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 23 October 2026. The ex-dividend date is 22 October 2026.

Shareholders who hold their shares on the main register are reminded that the Company's Registrar, Computershare Investor Services PLC, operates a dividend re-investment plan ("DRIP"). This can be a good way of building up a shareholding in the Company over time, whereby quarterly dividends are reinvested automatically in new shares. The deadline for elections under the DRIP is 30 October 2026.

Shareholders who hold their shares through a stockbroker or online dealing platform should be able to request for their dividends to be re-invested in a similar way, by contacting their stockbroker or selecting this option through their online dealing account.

Note:

The Company's dividend policy is to set the dividend at 1.5625% per quarter of the Company's net asset value ("NAV"), equating to approximately 6.25% of NAV per annum. The dividend is calculated using the Company's NAV on the last business day of the preceding financial quarter (i.e. the end of March, June, September and December). The third quarterly interim dividend of 5.42p per share is based on 1.5625% of the Company's NAV of 347.12p per share as at 30 September 2026. The annualised dividend yield of 6.5% assumes that the remaining dividend for the year will be unchanged, although the actual rate will depend on the NAV at the year end.
