Dividend and Capital Repayment
The Board of BMO UK High Income Trust PLC announces a fourth
quarter dividend in respect of the financial year to 31 March 2021
of 1.43 pence per Ordinary share. This dividend will be paid on 7
May 2021 to Ordinary shareholders on the register on 6 April
2021.
A fourth quarter capital repayment of 1.43 pence per B share
will be paid on 7 May 2021 to B shareholders on the register on 6
April 2021. Capital repayments on B shares are paid at the same
time and in an amount equal to each dividend paid on an Ordinary
share.
For the financial year to 31 March 2021, total dividends /
capital repayments have increased by 1.7% to 5.3 pence per share
(Financial year to 31 March 2020: 5.21 pence per share).
As referenced when the first three quarterly dividends and
capital repayments were announced; as a consequence of COVD-19 many
companies (including a number of those held within the Company's
investment portfolio) chose to cancel, delay or significantly
reduce the dividend payments they make to shareholders. At 31 March
2020, the Company had a revenue reserve of approximately 5.7p per
Ordinary share, equivalent to 109% of the total annual dividend of
5.21p per Ordinary share paid in respect of the year to 31 March
2020. The Company's dividend payments for the current financial
year will not be fully covered by net revenue earned and this
revenue reserve will be used to supplement revenue earnings in the
current financial year.
Based on these distributions, the dividend yield on an Ordinary
share was 5.8 per cent based on the Ordinary share price of 91.5
pence as at 22 March 2021, and the distribution yield on a B share
was 5.8 per cent based on the B share price of 91.5 pence on the
same date. These yields compare favourably with the yield on the
FTSE All-Share Index of 2.9 per cent at the same date. For those
shareholders that hold units (each comprising three Ordinary shares
and one B share) the distribution yield on this unit holding was
5.9 per cent based on a unit price of 361 pence as at 22 March
2021.
