Allotment of scrip dividend shares

 

27 October 2020

 

International Public Partnerships Limited, the listed infrastructure investment company ("the Company", "INPP") wish to confirm the following in respect of the scrip dividend:

 

Dividend period:

1 January 2020 - 30 June 2020

Dividend amount per share:

Scrip dividend price per share:

156.44 pence

Payment date/Allotment of scrip:

13 November 2020

Number of new shares issued:

5,994,652

Total number of INPP shares in issue at 13 November 2020:

1,620,952,892

 

As a result of the issue of equity set out above, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 1,620,952,892 Ordinary shares. Application will be made for 5,994,652 new Ordinary shares of 0.01p to be admitted to the premium segment of the Official List and to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange. It is expected that dealings in the new shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 13 November 2020.

 

2020 and 2021 Full Year Distributions

 

The Board of Directors reaffirms that it has established a target for 2020 and 2021 distributions of 7.36 and 7.55 pence per share (respectively), providing additional guidance to investors as to the Company's future intentions. The targeted payments would represent a 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. Whilst we currently have good forward-visibility of cash flows generated by the Company's investments given their predictability, we continue to monitor the current Covid-19 related uncertainty.

 

Note: The above distribution guidance is provided by the Company in consultation with its Investment Adviser 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. The Board will continue to review whether scrip dividends are appropriate for future dividends. Any such changes will be notified to shareholders through a regulatory information service.
