                                    2011

The 2011 second half year distribution of 2.925 pence per share is in line with the target previously outlined by 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 8 May 2012 to all eligible INPP shareholders on the register as at the record date for the dividend being 27 April 2012. The scrip dividend election forms will need to be completed and returned to Capita Registrars by 25 May 2012 by those investors who wish to receive shares in lieu of cash.

2012 Full Year Distribution

In December 2011 the Board of Directors provided indicative guidance for the target 2012 distribution of 6.0 pence per share which, if achieved, would be a 2.6% increase on the 2011 distribution and the fifth consecutive year INPP has increased distributions above the 2.5% growth target indicated at the time of INPP's IPO in 2006. The Board today reconfirms this guidance.

Note: The above distribution guidance is a target only and 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.
