JPMORGAN ELECT PLC
DECLARATION OF DIVIDENDS
Legal Entity Identifier: 549300FIUYKKL39ILD07
Information disclosed in accordance with DTR 6.1.13
The Directors of JPMorgan Elect plc have declared the following dividends:
Managed Growth Shares
A quarterly interim dividend of 6.00 pence per Managed Growth share, for the second quarter of the year ending 31st August 2022, will be paid on 25th March 2022 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 18th February 2022 (ex-dividend date 17th February 2022).
Managed Income Shares
A quarterly interim dividend of 1.10 pence per Managed Income share, for the second quarter of the year ending 31st August 2022, will be paid on 25th March 2022 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 18th February 2022 (ex-dividend date 17th February 2022).
The dividend has not been fully covered by the income earned and therefore the Company has utilised the Managed Income Class revenue reserves which have built up over previous years to support this dividend. After payment of this interim dividend, the Managed Income Class revenue reserve will equate to approximately two thirds of the full year dividend.
Managed Cash Shares
Historically, the Managed Cash share class has paid one dividend each financial year, in the fourth quarter. However, since the investment objective and policy of the Class was changed and the assets of the Class invested in the Sterling Managed Reserves Fund, the Company receives an annual dividend from that fund, in September. Therefore, to better align the date of receipt of the dividend from the Sterling Managed Reserves Fund with the shareholders on the Managed Cash register at that time, it was proposed that the declaration and payment date for the annual dividend is brought forward to earlier in the financial year.
The Board has therefore decided to pay an interim dividend of 0.30 pence per Managed Cash share, for the second quarter of the year ending 31st August 2022. The dividend will be paid on 25th March 2022 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 18th February 2022 (ex-dividend date 17th February 2022). No further dividends are expected to be paid on this share class for the financial year ending 31st August 2022.
