Interim Dividend 
 
The Company today announces a quarterly interim dividend in respect of the year 
ending 30 June 2021 at an increased rate 0.85 pence per share. This is a 36 per 
cent increase on the previous quarterly interim dividend of 0.625 pence per 
share. This dividend will be a property income distribution. 
 
The key dates for this interim dividend are as follows: 
 
Ex-Dividend Date -        10 December 2020 
 
Record Date -               11 December 2020 
 
Payment Date -             31 December 2020 
 
The Board has kept the rate of distribution under review, having regard to rent 
collection levels and the significant economic risks and continuing uncertainty 
regarding the path of Covid-19. The Board is also mindful that the level of 
dividend paid in the previous financial year was 84.3 per cent covered by 
profits. 
 
The rent collection statistics are well ahead of the levels that could 
reasonably have been expected when the Board made the decision to cut the 
dividend in June 2020. The collection rate is at 93 per cent for the second 
quarter of 2020 and 92 per cent for the third quarter. The collection rate for 
the fourth quarter is at 88 per cent to date with the final collection rate 
expected to be similar to the previous quarters. 
 
The Board will continue to monitor rental receipts and earnings closely and 
keep the future level of dividends under review.
