FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
26 August 2026
Globalworth Real Estate Investments Limited
("Globalworth" or the "Company")
Proposed Dividend Payment and Scrip Dividend Alternative
The Company is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has approved the payment of an Proposed dividend in respect of the six-month period ended 30 June 2026 of 7 cents per ordinary share (the "Proposed Dividend"), which will be paid (or CREST accounts credited) in accordance with the timetable set out below.
At an extraordinary general meeting of the Company held on 8 March 2023, a resolution was passed to grant the Board of Directors the authority to offer a scrip dividend alternative to shareholders. The Company announces that its Board of Directors intends to offer a scrip dividend alternative to the Proposed Dividend (the "Scrip Dividend Alternative") so that Qualifying Shareholders can elect to receive new ordinary shares in the Company (the "Scrip Dividend Shares") instead of cash in respect of all or part of their entitlement to the Proposed Dividend.
The Company will today publish a shareholder circular in relation to the Scrip Dividend Alternative (the "Scrip Dividend Circular") and a form of election to be completed by certain non-CREST Qualifying Shareholders who wish to elect to receive the Scrip Dividend Alternative (the "Scrip Mandate Form"). The Scrip Dividend Circular will include a letter from the Board of Directors setting out further information on the Scrip Dividend Alternative, including how Qualifying Shareholders can elect to receive the Scrip Dividend Alternative and certain UK tax consequences of electing to receive the Scrip Dividend Alternative. The Scrip Dividend Circular and the Scrip Mandate Form will be available on the Company's website at https://www.globalworth.com/investor-relations/corporate-documents/.
Qualifying Shareholders who validly elect to receive the Scrip Dividend Alternative will become entitled to a number of Scrip Dividend Shares in respect of their entitlement to the Proposed Dividend that is based on a price per Scrip Dividend Share calculated on the basis of a discount of 20% to the average of the middle market quotations for the Company's shares as derived from the Daily Official List (or any other publication of a recognised investment exchange showing quotations for the Company's shares) on the five consecutive dealing days from and including the Ex-Dividend Date (the "Reference Price"). The Reference Price is expected to be announced on 10 September 2026.
The Board is offering a Scrip Dividend Alternative in order for the Company to comply with the Dividend Restrictions. The Dividend Restrictions permit cash dividends in an amount not to exceed €10.0 million in any calendar year as long as certain conditions are satisfied. As those conditions continue to be satisfied and, with c.€0.3 million having been paid by way of cash dividends in March 2026, up to c.€9.7 million could be paid by way of cash dividends in relation to the Proposed Dividend.
The irrevocable undertakings provided by each of the Significant Shareholders, Zakiono Enterprises Ltd, CPI Property Group S.A. and Growthpoint Properties Ltd, as indicated in the Bond Listing Particulars, have been varied for this Proposed Dividend to permit them to elect to receive a scrip dividend in respect of part only of their respective shareholdings with the balance of each of their shareholdings receiving the dividend in cash (the "Variations"). Zakiono Enterprises Ltd, CPI Property Group S.A. and Growthpoint Properties Ltd together hold approximately 92.6% of the Company's current issued share capital (excluding shares held in treasury). Pursuant to the Variations, Zakiono Enterprises Ltd, CPI Property Group S.A. and Growthpoint Properties Ltd have each undertaken to elect to receive a scrip dividend in respect of shares which, in aggregate, total 53.9% of the current issued share capital, with the cash element of the dividend payable to them, therefore, an aggregate amount of c.€8.2 million. If all remaining shareholders made no election in relation to the scrip dividend, the cash dividend would be a total of c.€9.7 million and, therefore, within the Dividend Restrictions.
For the avoidance of doubt, all Qualifying Shareholders can elect to receive Scrip Dividend Shares instead of cash in respect of all or part of their entitlement to the Proposed Dividend.
The Scrip Dividend Circular, which explains how Qualifying Shareholders can elect to receive the Scrip Dividend Alternative in respect of all or part of their entitlement to the Proposed Dividend, should be read in full before electing to receive the Scrip Dividend Alternative. This announcement is not a summary of the Scrip Dividend Circular and should not be regarded as a substitute for reading the Scrip Dividend Circular in full.
All capitalised terms used in this announcement shall, unless otherwise defined, have the meanings given to them in the Scrip Dividend Circular.
