ALLOTMENT OF SCRIP DIVIDEND SHARES

The Board of International Public Partnerships Limited ('INPP' or the 'Company') wish to confirm the following in respect of the scrip dividend:

 
 Dividend period:                    1 July 2011 - 31 December 
                                      2011 
 Dividend amount per share:          2.925 pence 
                                    ========================== 
 Scrip dividend price per share:     117.9 pence 
                                    ========================== 
 Payment date/Allotment of scrip:    15 June 2012 
                                    ========================== 
 Number of new shares issued:        2,149,168 
                                    ========================== 
 Total number of INPP shares on 
  issue at 15 June 2012:             536,383,359 
                                    ==========================

In December 2011, the Board of Directors provided indicative guidance on the Company's target 2012/13 distribution which is a target of 6.0 pence per share. Assuming this target is achieved, this would represent a 2.6% increase on the 2011 distribution, and would be the fourth consecutive year the Company has increased distributions above the 2.5% growth forecast indicated at the time of the Company's IPO in 2006. The Board today reconfirms this guidance.

As per previous periods, the target distribution is expected to be entirely funded through operating cash flow from the underlying projects. Assuming the target distribution is met, it is expected to be paid in two equal instalments of 3.0 pence per share for the periods 1 January 2012-30 June 2012 and 1 July 2012-31 December 2012. The distribution is expected to go ex-dividend in August 2012 and March 2013 respectively.

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.
