Dividend Declaration and Scrip Dividend Alternative
23 January 2019
The Board of GCP Asset Backed, which invests in asset backed
loans, is pleased to announce its fourth quarterly dividend in
respect of the period from 1 October 2018 to 31 December 2018 of
1.525 pence per ordinary share (the "Q4 Dividend").
The ordinary shares will go ex-dividend on 31 January 2019 and
will be paid on 1 March 2019 to holders of ordinary shares recorded
on the register as at close of business on 1 February 2019.
Further to the authority granted by shareholders at the Annual
General Meeting of the Company held on 23 May 2017, holders of
ordinary shares will be given the opportunity to elect to receive
new ordinary shares in the Company ("Scrip Shares") in place of
their cash entitlement pursuant to the Q4 Dividend (the "Scrip
Dividend Alternative").
Further details of the Scrip Dividend Alternative can be found
in the Scrip Dividend Circular 2018 which was published by the
Company on 26 April 2018, a copy of which is available for
inspection at www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM and on the Company's
website at www.graviscapital.com/funds/gcp-asset-backed/literature.
The Scrip Dividend Circular 2018 is also available from the
Company's registered office at 12 Castle Street, St Helier, Jersey
JE2 3RT, Channel Islands.
The reference price of the Scrip Shares in respect of the Q4
Dividend will be calculated and published on or around 7 February
2019.
Shareholders will receive the Q4 Dividend in cash, unless they
have completed either a standing election (a "Scrip Dividend
Mandate") (for holders of ordinary shares in certificated form
only, with such Scrip Dividend Mandate to be returned to the
Company's registrar, Link Asset Services, by no later than 5pm on
15 February 2019) or a Dividend Election Input Message (for holders
of ordinary shares in CREST only, with such Election to be made in
CREST by no later than 5pm on 15 February 2019) to receive Scrip
Shares.
Holders of ordinary shares in certificated form who complete a
Scrip Dividend Mandate will continue to receive Scrip Shares in
lieu of their entire cash dividend entitlement for future dividends
unless they revoke their Scrip Dividend Mandate, details of which
are set out in the Scrip Dividend Circular 2018.
