Headline: Dividend Declaration and Scrip Dividend Alternative
19 January 2018
The Board of GCP Infra is pleased to announce a dividend of 1.9 pence per ordinary share, for the period from 1 October 2017 to 31 December 2017. The dividend will be paid on 23 February 2018 to holders of ordinary shares recorded on the register as at the close of business on 26 January 2018.
The Company will also be offering a scrip dividend alternative under which shareholders may elect to receive new ordinary shares in lieu of the cash dividend. The price of a new ordinary share to be issued under the scrip dividend alternative will be calculated by taking the average of the Company's closing middle market quotations of an ordinary share for the four consecutive dealing days commencing on the ex-dividend date of 25 January 2018.
Full details of the scrip dividend alternative will be found in the Scrip Dividend Circular in respect of the financial year ended 30 September 2018 ("Scrip Dividend Circular 2018"), which is expected to be published by the Company on 19 January 2018 and which will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and be available for inspection at 12 Castle Street, JE2 3RT St. Helier and on the Company's website at https://www.graviscapital.com/funds/gcp-infra/literature
Copies of the Scrip Dividend Circular 2018 will be posted to shareholders on 23 January 2018 and will also be available from the Company's registered office at 12 Castle Street, St Helier, Jersey JE2 3RT, Channel Islands.
The reference price for the scrip shares will also be calculated and published on or around 1 February 2018.
Shareholders will receive the dividend in cash unless they have completed either an evergreen standing election ("Scrip Dividend Mandate") (for holders of ordinary shares in certificated form only) or a CREST Dividend Election Input Message (for holders of ordinary shares in CREST only).
Holders of ordinary shares in certificated form who complete a Scrip Dividend Mandate will continue to receive scrip shares in lieu of their entire cash dividend entitlement for future dividends unless they revoke their Scrip Dividend Mandate, details of which are set out in the Scrip Dividend Circular 2018. For shareholders who hold their shares through CREST, a CREST Dividend Election Input Message should be issued on each occasion where a scrip dividend alternative is offered.
