Ground Rents Income Fund PLC
23 August 2021
Third interim dividend
for the year ending 30 September 2021
The directors of Ground Rents Income Fund plc (the "Company")
have declared an interim PID dividend of 0.99 pence (net) per share
for the period from 1 April 2021 to 30 June 2021, payable on 24
September 2021 to shareholders on the register on 3 September
2021.
Ex dividend date 2 September 2021
Record date 3 September 2021
Pay date 24 September 2021
Dividend per share 0.99 pence (net)
As announced in the half-year report for the period ending 31
March 2021, the Board took the decision to reduce the annualised
dividend by 24% to 3.0 pence per share per annum, commencing with a
reduction in the dividend for the period 1 July to 30 September
2021 to 0.75 pence per share, due to be paid in December 2021.
At this level the Board expects the dividend to be fully covered
by recurring earnings during the full year ending September 2022.
This takes into account a provision for costs in relation to
building safety reform and increased external management costs. The
Board expects to adopt a progressive dividend policy as rent
reviews increase ground rent income. The Company's ground rent
income currently totals GBP4.93 million per annum, with 47% of
ground rent income due to be formally reviewed in the next five
years, and in aggregate 72% to be formally reviewed within the next
ten years.
Future dividends are expected to be paid in accordance with the
revised financial calendar below:
First interim dividend (for period 1 October to 31 December) paid in March
Second interim dividend (for period 1 January to 31 March) paid in June
Third interim dividend (for period 1 April to 30 June) paid in September
Fourth interim dividend (for period 1 July to 30 September) paid in December
