The Q1 2026 Dividend is in line with the Company's target for the financial year from 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2026 ("FY 2026") of 6.23 pence per Ordinary Share*. The Company has a progressive dividend policy and the dividend target for FY 2026 represents an increase of 1.0% over the prior financial year.

A portion of the Company's dividend is designated as an interest distribution for UK tax purposes. The interest streaming percentage for the Q1 2026 Dividend is 60.0%.

\* The dividend target stated in this announcement is a target only and not a profit forecast. There can be no assurance that this target will be met, or that the Company will make any distributions at all and it should not be taken as an indication of the Company's expected future results. The Company's actual returns will depend upon a number of factors, including but not limited to the Company's net income and level of ongoing charges. Accordingly, potential investors should not place any reliance on this target and should decide for themselves whether or not the target dividend is reasonable or achievable. Investors should note that references in this announcement to "dividends" and "distributions" are intended to cover both dividend income and income which is designated as an interest distribution for UK tax purposes and therefore subject to the interest streaming regime applicable to investment trusts.
