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
18 January 2017 (the "Scrip Dividend Alternative"), elections were
received in respect of 17.1 per cent. of the Company's ordinary
shares in issue as at the record date of 16 December 2016.
Electing shareholders will receive ordinary shares in the
Company ("Shares") in lieu of cash in respect of this dividend and,
accordingly 3,032,527 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 UK Listing 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 18 January 2017.
Following the allotment of the New Shares, it is expected that
the total number of shares in issue will be 1,655,040,993 (none of
which will be held in treasury) and that, accordingly, the total
number of voting rights of the Company will be 1,655,040,993.
Copies of the documents relating to the Scrip Dividend
Alternative are available for inspection through the National
Storage Mechanism (http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM).
No Property Income Distribution ("PID") is included in this
interim dividend. However, forms to register for gross PIDs (when
these become payable) are available on the Company's website.
