The Company is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has approved the payment of an interim dividend in respect of the six month period ended 31 December 2025 of 5 cents per ordinary share (the "Interim 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 Interim 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 Interim 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 Interim 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 19 March 2026.

The Board is offering a Scrip Dividend Alternative in order for the Company to comply with the Dividend Restrictions. As indicated in the Bond Listing Particulars, each of the Company's significant shareholders, Zakiono Enterprises Ltd, CPI Property Group S.A. and Growthpoint Properties Ltd, has provided an irrevocable undertaking to the Company pursuant to which each such shareholder will elect to receive a scrip dividend in respect of their entire holdings of shares and their full entitlement to any dividend proposed in these circumstances. Zakiono Enterprises Ltd, CPI Property Group S.A. and Growthpoint Properties Ltd together hold approximately 92.5% of the current issued share capital of the Company (excluding shares held in treasury).

The Scrip Dividend Circular 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.
