What changed
GCP Infra declared a dividend of 1.75 pence per ordinary share for Q1 2026, consistent with its 7.00 pence annual target. The expected timetable sets shares ex-dividend at 7 May 2026, record date 8 May 2026, and payment date 8 June 2026. The company also provided a market update noting UK Government announcements on carbon price support removal, electricity generator levy increases, and CfD bidding options, stating no material portfolio impact is expected. This is a routine corporate disclosure from a FTSE-250 listed investment company providing shareholders and prospective investors with dividend timeline information and policy sensitivity commentary.
Affected parties—existing shareholders and prospective investors in GCP Infra—should note the upcoming ex-dividend and record dates to be eligible for the June payment. Investors in similar UK infrastructure debt exposure should also monitor the referenced UK energy policy changes (CPS removal, EGL rate increase) as the company indicated its forecasts had already priced in these scenarios.

Dividend Declaration
GCP Infra is pleased to announce a dividend of 1.75 pence per ordinary share for the period from 1 January 2026 to 31 March 2026. This is in line with the Company's annual dividend target of 7.00 pence per ordinary share. The dividend will be paid on 8 June 2026 to holders of ordinary shares recorded on the register as at the close of business on 8 May 2026.

| Dividend payment date | 8 June 2026 |
Market Update
The Company notes the recent UK Government announcements relating to: (i) the removal of carbon price support ("CPS") from 2028; and (ii) the increase to the tax rate on the electricity generator levy ("EGL") from 45% to 55%; and (iii) the intention to introduce the option for low carbon generators that do not benefit from an existing contract-for-difference ("CfD") to bid for a wholesale CfD ("WCfD") (the "Announcements").
The Company does not expect any material impact on the valuation of the Company's investment portfolio as a result of the Announcements. The Company's independent electricity price forecaster had, in their long-term forecasts, already assumed the phasing out of the CPS alongside the increased alignment of the UK and European Union carbon markets. Further, such electricity price forecasts are below the level at which the EGL applies. The Company and its Investment Adviser will continue to review proposals relating to the WCfD as they are developed to assess the extent to which the WCfD would benefit any projects in its investment portfolio.
