INTU PROPERTIES PLC (the "Company")
CONFIRMATION OF DIVIDEND PAYMENT DATE AND OFFER OF SCRIP DIVIDEND ALTERNATIVE TO THE CASH 2015 INTERIM DIVIDEND
On 30 July 2015, the Directors proposed an interim dividend for 2015 of 4.6 pence per share (the "dividend"). The dividend will be wholly paid as a Property Income Distribution ("PID") which will be subject to deduction of a 20 per cent UK withholding tax unless exemptions apply. Today we are announcing the dividend payment date, 24 November 2015, and notice of a scrip dividend alternative.
Shareholders will receive the dividend in cash unless they elect to receive shares instead. A full description of the terms of the scrip dividend scheme are contained in the Scrip Dividend Booklet which is available for viewing or download from the Company's website at www.intugroup.co.uk. Hard copies can be requested via the website or by contacting the Company (email [email protected] or telephone +44 (0)20 7960 1236).
