Dividend Payments Following the strategic review by the Board and the Investment Manager in thethird quarter 2014, it was concluded that superior performance over the longterm is best pursued by the Company focusing on Shareholders' total return,rather than targeting a specific dividend per Ordinary Share. Accordingly, theBoard resolved that the Company's dividend policy be changed such thatdividends will be declared at levels which are expected over the medium termto be sustainable based on the Company's net portfolio income and also tooffer potential for dividend growth for Shareholders. The company expects to pay dividends four times a year. As a result of the EGM in October 2014, and following shareholder approval,the quarterly dividend was reduced to 0.375 pence per Ordinary Share (from1.05 pence) with effect from the payment for the quarter to 30 September 2014.
