Third Interim Dividend Declaration

The Diverse Income Trust plc

(the "Company")

 

Dividend Declaration

The Company has declared a third interim dividend of   1.20 pence   per ordinary share (2025:   1.10 pence) in respect of the financial year ending   31 May 2026, which is an increase of 9.1% on the previous year. This will be payable on   21 May 2026   to shareholders on the register on   1 May 2026. The ex-dividend date will be   30 April 2026.

In light of the proposals for the voluntary liquidation of the Company by way of a scheme of reconstruction pursuant to Section 110 of the Insolvency Act 1986 (the " Scheme "), the Company has withdrawn its Dividend Reinvestment Plan (" DRIP "), previously managed by its Registrar, MUFG Corporate Markets. Therefore, shareholders will no longer be able to automatically reinvest their dividend in ordinary shares.

It is anticipated that the Company may pay a further dividend in advance of the effective date of the Scheme in order to ensure that the Company meets the distribution requirements to maintain investment trust status.   Information relating to the declaration and payment of such further dividend (if any) will be released by the Company via an RNS.
