Scrip Calculation Price for the March 2015 Dividend in relation to the Scrip Dividend Scheme
On 17 May 2010 the Board of MedicX Fund Limited announced an opportunity for qualifying Shareholders to receive relevant dividends in new ordinary shares instead of in cash (the "Scheme").
In relation to the dividend for the period 1 October 2014 to 31 December 2014 payable on 31 March 2015 (the "March 2015 Dividend"), the price of a new ordinary share in relation to the Scrip Dividend Scheme (the "Scrip Calculation Price") has been set at 83.80 pence. This is the average of the closing middle market quotations for the Company's ordinary shares for the five consecutive business days commencing on the ex-dividend date of 12 February 2015.
In order to be valid, Mandate forms must be received by the Company's registrars, Capita Asset Services, (or CREST instructions entered) by no later than 5.00 p.m. on 10 March 2015 (the "Mandate Delivery Deadline") in order for elections under the Scrip Dividend Scheme to be effective in relation to the March 2015 Dividend. The Company mailed, on 17 February 2015, personalised Mandate Forms to Shareholders new on the Register since 15 November 2014 and before 13 February 2015 (the "Record Date"). Other Shareholders can use their Mandate Forms issued for previous scrip dividends offered, or obtain Mandate Forms from Capita Asset Services.
Mandate Forms remain valid for all Relevant Dividends where a Scrip Dividend Alternative is offered, until cancelled. Therefore, Shareholders who have previously completed a Mandate Form but no longer wish to receive a Scrip Dividend should write to Capita Asset Services, Corporate Actions, The Registry, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent, BR3 4TU, by no later than 5.00 p.m. on the Mandate Delivery Deadline for the Relevant Dividend to inform them that they wish to revoke the election and receive a cash dividend.
Shareholders who do not wish to receive a Scrip Dividend Alternative and have not previously completed a Mandate Form need take no further action and will receive a cash dividend in respect of the March 2015 Dividend in the usual way. The payment date in respect of the March 2015 Dividend is 31 March 2015.
Shareholders who have any questions regarding the Scrip Dividend Scheme should contact the Capita Asset Services helpline on 0871 664 0321*.
*Calls made to this number are charged at 10 pence per minute plus network charges. Lines are open 8.30 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. (London time) Monday to Friday (except Bank Holidays).
