Scrip Dividend Declaration
Assura plc ("Assura" or "the Company"), the UK's leading primary
care property investor and developer, today announces that,
pursuant to its Scrip Dividend Scheme and in response to the scrip
dividend alternative for the quarterly interim dividend payable on
14 April 2021 (the "Scrip Dividend Alternative"), elections were
received in respect of 12 per cent. of the Company's ordinary
shares in issue as at the record date of 12 March 2021.
Electing shareholders will receive ordinary shares in the
Company ("Shares") in lieu of cash in respect of this dividend and,
accordingly 3,011,418 Shares (the "New Shares") will be issued by
the Company to such shareholders.
Application has therefore been made for the admission of the New
Shares to the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and
to trading on the London Stock Exchange's market for listed
securities ("Admission"). The New Shares will rank pari passu with
the Company's existing ordinary shares and Admission is expected to
occur at 8.00am on 14 April 2021.
Following the allotment of the New Shares, it is expected that
the total number of shares in issue will be 2,675,547,484 (none of
which will be held in treasury) and that, accordingly, the total
number of voting rights of the Company will be 2,675,547,484.
Copies of the documents relating to the Scrip Dividend
Alternative are available for inspection through the National
Storage Mechanism (
