Proposed Scrip Dividend Alternative - Reference Share Price

 

In its interim results announcement released on 30 September 2011, PSPI (AIM: PSPI), the specialist European care home real estate investment and financing company, announced that its Board of Directors had resolved to introduce a scrip dividend alternative starting with the interim dividend for the 6 months ended 30 June 2011, subject to shareholder approval.

 

Further to that announcement, the Company announces that it intends to post a circular to its shareholders on or about 21 October 2011 to seek shareholders' approval at an extraordinary general meeting of the Company to be convened on or about 9 November 2011 to authorise the Directors to exercise the powers conferred on them by the Company's Articles of Association to offer shareholders the opportunity to take new ordinary shares of US$0.01 each, credited as fully paid, in lieu of cash dividends, by participating in the proposed scrip dividend alternative. The availability of the proposed scrip dividend alternative is conditional (inter alia) on shareholder approval at the extraordinary general meeting. In relation to the interim dividend for 2011, the price of a new ordinary share under the proposed scrip dividend alternative will be set at 63.4 pence. This is the average of the Company's middle market closing price for the five consecutive dealing days commencing on the ex-dividend date of 12 October 2011.

 

Following receipt of the circular, those shareholders and depositary interest holders wishing to participate in the proposed scrip dividend alternative should follow the instructions set out in the circular for making an election. To participate in the proposed scrip dividend alternative in respect of the 2011 interim dividend, elections must be received (in accordance with the terms to be set out in the circular) by not later than 5.00p.m. on 8 November 2011..
