Chairman Jeff Morrison said, ”FY21 has certainly proved to be a challenging one and we’re very pleased with the way the management team has navigated Argosy through difficult times. While the FY22 year could still bring further headwinds, Argosy’s resilient financial and portfolio position sees it well placed to manage any near term economic volatility.

Argosy has always sought to do the right thing by tenants and the environment. Our vision of building a better future aims to reflect this at a more aspirational level. We have some big long term goals for the company over the next ten years primarily focused around the environment, including being carbon neutral and targeting 50% of the portfolio being green assets. Our strategy of creating a green, resilient and diversified business, requires us to remain focused on delivering for all stakeholders. I am looking forward to my first annual shareholders meeting as Chairman in June, where we will update shareholders.

The Board remains focused on growing the sustainability of dividends to shareholders. Based on current projections for the portfolio and subject to market conditions, the Board expects that the dividend for FY22 will be 6.55 cents per share, an increase of 1.6% on the prior year.”
