The Directors of the Company today announce the tenth monthly dividend for the period from the Company's Admission on 23 September 2015 to 30 June 2016:

 
 Dividend       0.676p per Ordinary 
  amount:        Share

In aggregate, the Company has declared dividends of 5.626p per Ordinary Share for the period from the Company's Admission on 23 September 2015 to 30 June 2016.

As stated in the Company's Prospectus, the Company has elected to designate all of the dividend for the period ended 30 June 2016 as an interest distribution to its shareholders. In doing so, the Company is taking advantage of UK tax treatment by "streaming" income from interest-bearing investments into dividends that will be taxed in the hands of shareholders as interest income.

With effect from 6 April 2017, interest distributions will be paid to all shareholders without deduction of UK tax.
