DIVIDEND DECLARATION
BioPharma Credit PLC (LSE: BPCR), the specialist life sciences
debt investor, is pleased to declare an interim dividend in respect
of the financial period ending 31 December 2019 of $0.0303 per
ordinary share, payable on 27 March 2020 to ordinary shareholders
on the register as at 28 February 2020. The Company has chosen to
designate the entire amount of this interim dividend as an interest
distribution. Shareholders in receipt of such a dividend will be
treated for UK tax purposes as though they have received a payment
of interest. This will result in a reduction in the corporation tax
payable by the Company.
The $0.0303 return comprises an ordinary dividend of $0.0175 and
a special dividend of $0.0128. As a result, total dividends
corresponding to the 2019 year totalled $0.0828 per share.
The Company is currently paying and continues to target a 7 cent
annual dividend per ordinary share.
The default payment for dividends is in US dollars. However,
shareholders can elect to have dividends paid in sterling (GBP) and
the option to elect a sterling dividend payment for this dividend
will be available to shareholders until 28 February 2020 (the
"Election Date").
Further details together with a copy of the Dividend Currency
Election Form, which should be sent to Link Asset Services, The
Registry, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent, BR3 4TU when
