Dividend Policy
Vectura Group plc is seeking primarily to achieve capital growth
for its Shareholders. The Group has incurred significant
development expenditure to date. It is the Board's intention during
the current phase of the Group's development to retain any future
distributable profits for use within the business. Thereafter,
subject to the availability of distributable reserves, the
Directors intend to pursue a dividend policy reflecting the
Company's growth in earnings and cash flow generated from
operations, whilst maintaining an appropriate level of dividend
cover and having regard to further development of the Group's
activities. The Directors do not anticipate declaring any dividends
for the foreseeable future.
General information on share price volatility and
liquidity
The share price of emerging healthcare companies can be extremely
volatile. The price at which the Ordinary Shares in Vectura Group
plc will be quoted and the price which investors may realise for
their Ordinary Shares will be influenced by a large number of
factors, some specific to Vectura Group plc and its operations,
some which may affect emerging healthcare companies generally, and
many of these are outside the control of the Group. These factors
may include, but not be limited to, results from the clinical
development of the Group’s products, results from competing
products or products from other listed emerging healthcare
companies, large purchases or sales of shares, changes in the
regulatory environment for pharmaceutical products and changes in
recommendations of securities analysts. In particular, broad market
and industry factors may seriously harm the market price of the
Vectura Group plc Ordinary Shares, regardless of its operating
performance. In addition it may be more difficult for investors to
realise their investments in a company listed on AIM, as is Vectura
Group plc, than a Company whose shares are quoted on the London
Stock Exchange Official List due to a potential lack of
liquidity.
