Henderson Opportunities Trust plc declared a first interim dividend of 7.5 pence per ordinary share, in respect of the quarter to 31 January 2024 for the period ending 31 October 2024, payable on 20 June 2024 to shareholders registered at the close of business on 17 May 2024. The Company's shares will go ex-dividend on 16 May 2024. This dividend is to be paid from the Company's revenue account.

As the 5 for 1 share split has now become effective the Company clarifies that the interim dividend equates to 1.5 pence per ordinary share of 5 pence each. The aggregate dividend to be paid for every five shares held post share split remains the same (i.e. 7.5 pence) as if one ordinary share of 25 pence each had been held. The dates for the dividend remain unchanged.
