BIOPHARMA CREDIT PLC 

("BIOPHARMA CREDIT" OR THE "COMPANY") 

ORDINARY AND SPECIAL DIVIDEND DECLARATION

3.20 CENT PER SHARE DISTRIBUTION INCLUDING A 1.45 CENT SPECIAL DISTRIBUTION

9.95 CENTS PER SHARE DECLARED IN 2025

BioPharma Credit PLC (LSE: BPCR), the specialist life sciences debt investor, is pleased to declare an interim dividend in respect of the quarterly financial period ending 31 December 2025 of 3.196044 cents per share, payable on 20 March 2026 to ordinary shareholders on the register as at 20 February 2026. The 3.196044 cents dividend comprises an ordinary dividend of 1.75 cents and a special dividend of 1.446044 cents. The ex-dividend date will be 19 February 2026.

The Company aims to generate long-term shareholder returns, predominantly in the form of sustainable income distributions from its investments in the life sciences industry. The Company currently pays, and continues to target, a 7-cent base annual dividend per ordinary share in four quarterly payments of 1.75 cents per share. Typically, these are supplemented by excess income in the form of special dividend distributions in Q4 and in some years, Q3 and Q4, where the Board determines that it is appropriate and able to do so (noting the requirement to pay out substantially all income to maintain the Company's investment trust status).

After the payment of the interim dividend on 20 March 2026, dividends for the calendar year 2025 will total 9.95 cents. Following this distribution, total dividends paid since IPO in March 2017 to date will total 76.88 cents.

Dividends in recent years:

By way of reference, the Company's shares traded as of (9 February 2026) at a price of 92 cents.

The default payment for dividends is in US dollars. However, shareholders can elect to have dividends paid in sterling (GBP) and the option to elect a sterling dividend payment for this dividend will be available to shareholders until 20 February 2026 (being the "Election Date").

The Company has chosen to designate the entire amount of this interim dividend as an interest distribution. Shareholders in receipt of such a dividend will be treated for UK tax purposes as though they have received a payment of interest. This will result in a reduction in the corporation tax payable by the Company.

A copy of the Dividend Currency Election Form, which should be sent to MUFG Corporate Markets, 19th Floor, 51 Lime Street, London EC3M 7DQ when completed, will be available on the Company's website at www.bpcruk.com/investor-materials. CREST shareholders must elect via CREST.
