Dividend Announcement
As detailed in the prospectus, announced on 18 November 2015, amended by the supplementary prospectus announced on 15 December 2015, Standard Life Investments Property Income Trust Limited (the "Company") announced its intention to split the final interim dividend in respect of the period to 31 December 2015 into: (i) a fourth interim dividend for the period between 1 October 2015 and 20 December 2015 (the date immediately prior to Admission and the completion of the Acquisition); and (ii) a fifth interim dividend for the period between 21 December 2015 and 31 December 2015. The Company’s existing Shareholders will qualify for the fourth and fifth interim dividends in respect of their existing holdings of Ordinary Shares which together will equal the equivalent of 1.161 pence for the quarter per Share. The New Shares issued pursuant to the Initial Placing and Offer, and which are expected to commence trading on 21 December 2015, will only qualify for the fifth interim dividend.
The Company therefore announces that the fourth interim dividend will be 1.022 pence per share. Given the New Shares will not rank for this fourth interim dividend, the timetable will fall outside the standard dividend procedure timetable. The ex-dividend date, record date and payment date are therefore as follows:
| Ex-dividend Date | 17 December 2015 |
| Record Date | 18 December 2015 |
| Payment Date | 31 March 2016 |
The split of this dividend between a property income dividend and ordinary dividend will be announced at the same time as the announcement of the fifth interim dividend which is expected to be in early March 2016.
