Dividend Declaration
The Board of Directors of the Company has today declared the payment of an interim dividend of 1.20p per Ordinary share in respect of the financial year ending 30 September 2020.
The dividend will be paid on 17 April 2020, to shareholders on the register as at 27 March 2020. The ex-dividend date is 26 March 2020.
As previously detailed in the Chairman's Statement of the Annual Report & Accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 September 2019, shareholders should note that the Company has now moved from the payment of semi-annual to quarterly dividends - this being the first of the quarterly dividend payments for the year ending 30 September 2020.
Following discussion with the Investment Adviser, the Board has been informed that, at present, most investee companies continue to announce dividends in line with expectations. However, should the dividend policies of investee companies change as a result of Covid-19, the Company may be required to change its own dividend policy. The Board would expect to update shareholders on this at the time of the next interim dividend.
