GBP645.3m increase in distributable reserves through conversion of merger reserve
The Board of Alliance Trust PLC (the "Company") announces that the Court has approved the conversion of its GBP645.3m Merger Reserve into a distributable reserve, having previously received shareholder approval to do so. This has significantly increased the proportion of the Company's reserves capable of being distributed to shareholders. GBP3,242m(1) is available for distribution, thereby affording the Board additional flexibility when contemplating its future dividend and distribution policy.
A certified copy of that Court order is expected to be registered by the Registrar of Companies in Scotland no later than 12 July 2021.
Gregor Stewart, Chairman, commented:
"We are pleased to have completed the conversion process on behalf of shareholders. This significantly increases our distributable reserves and provides us with a greater degree of financial flexibility for the future and therefore underpins the Company's objective of paying a rising dividend."
