First Interim Dividend Announcement - Builds on 42 year track
record of maintaining or increasing dividends
-- Declaring a first interim dividend of 6.875 pence per
ordinary share payable in July 2021, representing an increase of
5.8% over the prior year's first interim dividend.
-- It is the Board's intention for each of the first three
interim dividends for 2021 to be equivalent to a quarter of Law
Debenture's total 2020 dividend of 27.5 pence per ordinary
share.
-- The Board's current intention is for the total 2021 dividend
to be an increase on the total 2020 dividend of 27.5 pence per
ordinary share.
As the vaccine rollout continues at pace and economies begin to
recover following the easing of restrictions, there is a definite
feeling of optimism about the UK dividend outlook. The Board is,
however, conscious that the pandemic has had a residual effect on
dividends across the market and that they are unlikely to return to
the level of 2019 for several years. It is at times like these when
the benefits of Law Debenture's unique structure come to the fore.
The consistent and diversified income provided by Law Debenture's
Independent Professional Services businesses (IPS) gives us a
genuine competitive advantage over other equity income trusts.
The combination of IPS' steady income and our strong reserves
allows Law Debenture to continue executing its 42 year track record
of maintaining or increasing its dividend payments.
As a result of this, we have declared a first interim dividend
of 6.875 pence per ordinary share payable in July 2021; this
represents an increase of 5.8% over the prior year's first interim
dividend.
At the Corporation's 2022 annual general meeting shareholders
will be asked to vote on a final dividend to be paid in April 2022.
It is the Board's current intention to recommend the final 2021
dividend payment such that the total dividend will be an increase
on the 2020 dividend of 27.5 pence per ordinary share.
