1 The target dividend payments are targets only and there is no guarantee whatsoever that they can or will be achieved and they should not be seen as an indication of the Company’s actual return. Accordingly, investors should not place any reliance on the target dividend payment whether to invest in ordinary shares or C Shares (if relevant). Cash receipts may be applied to dividend payments before they are fully recognised in the Company’s income statement.
