Dividends
As previously announced, we intend to pay a 2020 final ordinary dividend of 4.14 pence per share on 14 May 2021 (2019 final dividend: nil), subject to shareholder approval at today’s AGM, and a 2021 interim dividend of c.4.14 pence per share in November, in line with our Ordinary Dividend Policy to return c.7.5% of net assets annually, in two equal instalments.
As we look forward, it remains our intention to return excess capital to shareholders in line with our policy. We are not planning to make a capital return in 2021 and will review the potential level of excess capital at the time of our 2021 full year results in March 2022, for payment in 2022.
