The revised distribution per ordinary unit is AUD 0.0128, down from the previously estimated AUD 0.0136, aligning with actual financial outcomes after year-end processes.

The record date was 1 July 2026, with the ex-date on 30 June 2026. Distributions, which are unfranked, will be paid on 8 July 2026.

Investor Impact and Outlook

While the immediate effect on share price remains unclear, the updated distribution clarifies expected returns, aiding investors in portfolio planning and management.

Investors are advised to monitor upcoming announcements for any future changes in distribution policies or investment strategies.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) Information

The trust offers a Dividend Reinvestment Plan with a 'Full DRP' status for this distribution, enabling investors to reinvest dividends into additional units. The deadline for DRP election notices was 2 July 2026.

The DRP discount is 0%, and pricing follows clause 10.2 of the trust’s constitution. Investors not participating in the DRP will receive cash payments.

Maintaining Strategic Stability

Despite distribution revisions, the trust confirmed no changes to its investment strategy or portfolio composition, underscoring its commitment to stability and long-term objectives.

Management continues to focus on generating consistent income through a diversified portfolio and strategic asset allocation.

Currency and Tax Considerations

Distributions are paid in Australian Dollars (AUD) and are fully unfranked, with no conduit foreign income included. This may affect investors’ tax planning, especially for non-residents.

Investors should consult tax advisors to understand the implications of the unfranked distribution on their individual tax situations.

Additional Investor Resources

Although the announcement did not provide a direct link to the DRP plan rules, investors are encouraged to contact the trust or visit its website for further details.
