US SOLAR FUND PLC (USF, the "Company")
Q2 2020 Interim Dividend
US Solar Fund Plc ( LON:USF (USD) / USFP (GBP) ) is pleased to
announce its Interim Dividend for the period ended 30 June 2020. As
mentioned in the Company's announcement on 16 September 2020, the
Company will pay a dividend in the amount of 0.50 cents per
Ordinary Share. The dividend will be paid on 20 November 2020 to
Shareholders on the register as at the close of business on 30
October 2020. The ex-dividend date is 29 October 2020.
Any such dividend payment to Shareholders may take the form of
either dividend income or "qualifying interest income" which may be
designated as an interest distribution for UK tax purposes and
therefore subject to the interest streaming regime applicable to
investment trusts. Of this dividend declared of 0.50 cents per
Ordinary Share, 0.49 cents is declared as dividend income with 0.01
cents treated as qualifying interest income.
USF expects to cover the remaining 2020 dividends with operating
cashflows and continues to be in a strong position to commence its
2021 annual dividend target of 5.5 cents per Ordinary Share.
This 0.50 cents per Ordinary Share dividend represents an
annualised dividend yield of 2.00% when measured against the
initial issue price of $1 per share.
