2017 First Half Year Dividend

 

The Board of International Public Partnerships Limited ("INPP"), the FTSE 250 listed infrastructure investment company, declares a distribution covering the period:

 

Distribution period:

1 January 2017 - 30 June 2017

Distribution amount per share:

3.41 pence

Ex-dividend date:

28 September 2017

Dividend record date:

29 September 2017

Last date to elect/revoke elections:

26 October 2017

Payment date/Allotment of scrip:

9 November 2017

Scrip Alternative in operation:

Yes

 

The 2017 first half year distribution of 3.41 pence per share is in line with the target previously outlined by the Directors and, as per previous periods, has been entirely funded through operating cash flow from the underlying projects.

 

The Board intend to offer a scrip dividend alternative for this distribution to those investors who wish to receive additional INPP securities in lieu of a cash payment. A circular will be sent to shareholders explaining the terms of the scrip dividend alternative. It is intended that the circular, together with scrip dividend election forms, will be mailed on or about 9 October 2017 to all eligible INPP shareholders on the register as at the record date for the dividend being 29 September 2017. The scrip dividend election forms will need to be completed and returned to Capita Asset Services by 26 October 2017 by those investors who wish to receive shares in lieu of cash.

 

2017 and 2018 Full Year Distributions

 

The Board of Directors has established a minimum target for 2017 and 2018 distributions of 6.82 pence per share and 7.00 pence per share (respectively), providing additional guidance to investors as to the Company's future intentions. The targeted payments would represent a minimum c.2.5% increase on the preceding distributions and would continue to be in line with the growth target indicated at the time of INPP's IPO in 2006.

 

Note: The above distribution guidance is provided by the Company in consultation with its Investment Advisor as a target only and is not a profit forecast. There can be no assurance that this target will be met or that the Company will make any distributions whatsoever. The times and dates in this announcement are expected times and dates only and are subject to change. Any such changes will be notified to shareholders through a regulatory information service.
