(the "Company")
DIVIDEND DECLARATION
The Board of Directors of the Company has declared an interim dividend of 1.70 pence per share for the three-month period to 30 June 2017. The dividend will be paid on 21 September 2017 to shareholders on the register as at 1 September 2017. The ex-dividend date is 31 August 2017.
The Company has elected to designate all of the interim dividend for the three-month period to 30 June 2017 as an interest distribution to its shareholders, thereby "streaming" income from interest-bearing investments into dividends that will be taxed in the hands of shareholders as interest income. No income tax will therefore be deducted at source from this, or from future interest distributions.
