Patria Private Equity Trust Plc (LON:PPET) has announced the payment of the first interim dividend in respect of the year ended 30 September 2025 of 4.4 pence per ordinary share (2024: 4.2 pence per ordinary share).
The dividend will be paid on 25 April 2025 to all shareholders on the register on 21 March 2025. The ex- dividend date is 20 March 2025.
In the absence of unforeseen circumstances, it is the Board’s intention that the second, third and fourth interim dividends will also be 4.4 pence per Ordinary Share, payable in July 2025, October 2025 and January 2026 respectively, which would result in a total dividend for the year ending 30 September 2025 of 17.6 pence per ordinary share.
Based on the share price at 7 March 2025, this would represent a 3.1% dividend yield and is an overall increase of 4.8% on the total dividend payment for the financial year ended 30 September 2024 of 16.8 pence per ordinary share.
