2020 First Half Year Dividend

The Board of International Public Partnerships Limited ("INPP"), the FTSE 250 listed infrastructure investment company, declares a distribution covering the period:

Distribution period:                                                   1 January 2020 - 30 June 2020

Distribution amount per share:                                 3.68 pence

Ex-dividend date:                                                     17 September 2020

Dividend record date:                                               18 September 2020

Circulation of Scrip Election Forms and Circular:     5 October 2020

Last date to elect/revoke elections:                          26 October 2020

Payment date/Allotment of scrip:                             13 November 2020

Scrip Alternative in operation:                                  Yes

The 2020 first half year distribution of 3.68 pence per share is in line with the target previously outlined by the Directors and, as per previous periods, has been entirely funded through operating cash flow from the underlying projects.

2020 and 2021 Full Year Distributions

The Board of Directors reaffirms that it has established a target for 2020 of 7.36 pence per share and announces a 2021 target distribution of 7.55 pence per share, providing additional guidance to investors as to the Company's future intentions and the overall continued performance of its portfolio. The targeted payments would represent a c.2.5% increase on the preceding distributions and would continue to be in line with the growth target indicated at the time of INPP's IPO in 2006. Whilst we currently have good forward-visibility of cash flows generated by the Company's investments given their predictability, we continue to monitor the current Covid-19 related uncertainty.

Scrip Dividend Alternative

The Board intend to offer a scrip dividend alternative for this distribution to those eligible INPP investors who wish to receive additional INPP securities in lieu of a cash payment. In line with prior dividends, the Company has implemented an online process, reducing the need for paperwork and allowing eligible INPP shareholders access to a web-based service to elect the scrip dividend alternative. Details will be sent to all eligible INPP shareholders on the register as at the record date for the dividend being 18 September 2020 with the scrip dividend circular being mailed on or about 5 October 2020, the terms of the scrip dividend alternative will also be available on the INPP website. Shareholders wishing to access the web-based service and receive electronic communications from the Company can do so at www.signalshares.com.

Note: The above distribution guidance is provided by the Company in consultation with its Investment Adviser as a target only and is not a profit forecast. There can be no assurance that this target will be met or that the Company will make any distributions whatsoever. The times and dates in this announcement are expected times and dates only and are subject to change. The Board will continue to review whether scrip dividends are appropriate for future dividends. Any such changes will be notified to shareholders through a regulatory information service.

ENDS.
