The board of Albion Technology & General VCT PLC declared a first dividend for the financial year to December 31, 2017 of 1 pence per share, to be paid on January 31, 2017 to shareholders on the register as at January 13, 2017. The board has recently revised the company's dividend payout policy from anticipated dividends of 5 pence per share per annum to 4 pence per share per annum, which is reflected in the first dividend payable in the year to December 31, 2017. The board also confirms its intention to move from paying quarterly dividends to semi-annual dividend payments, which will mean two further dividends payable in this calendar year during this transition, anticipated to be for 1 pence per share and then 2 pence per share.
