Post period-end, Albion realised £5.1 million from a partial exit in portfolio company Oviva at 5.1 times cost and reinvested dividends through a scrip scheme, underlining an active capital recycling strategy that supports both shareholder distributions and continued investment in its growth-focused portfolio.
