that's more feasible thanks
They could of course have the final 2019 dividend payable as the final 2020 dividend instead, which would tie them to 3 X 0.45p 2021 interims.
I would rather though a 2.25p 'special' leaving the 2020 final being set at a rate which is suitable against the BOD's view of the future prospects for profits.

''I don't even view it as a 'special payment'
If money is available from the non payment of the final 2019 dividend then a payment outside of a normal dividend payment may be the preferred option, so as not to have an influence on the 3 X 20% rule for interim 2021 dividends.

'' a special payment to share holders maybe as they now who's owed the payment for the dates.''
No shareholders are owed money.
If spare capital is available for distribution,then shareholders at the time of a future XD date will be the recipients.
Is there actually a possibility of receiving the missing 2019 dividend? When Lloyds said they'll make it up to shareholders i've just assumed they will try and restart the divis when the ban is lifted but no back payments.
Livestock - I don't even view it as a 'special payment' - it's not some kind of special divi - just our delayed, deferred or released payment
What good did the huge sums held for the stress do ,still did not pay our divi,every other business has had to be bailed, will the lesson be learnt ?
livestock
The share registries would love the extra work involved making back payment 2 the system. lol
"Looking forward to my deferred 2019 divi asap"

Yes me to , it will be interesting to see how Lloyds are going to do this, a special payment to share holders maybe as they now who's owed the payment for the dates. The regulators have spent the last 10 years making Lloyds more resilient they deserve some credit, Friday's Q3 results I don't suppose they won't mention divi payments

Agreed, however, people only look at the costs.
WORKING FROM HOME
'additional heating, lighting, computer energy costs' MINUS 'travel, lunch & coffee/alcohol, laundry costs'

Bonuses are completely different from dividends. The 65,000 staff working from home will need a large increase in bonus to pay for the additional heating, lighting, computer energy costs.

Thank you Livestock, Full year predictions? -
HSBC £3.8bn
Lloyds £631m
Barclays £1.5bn
NatWest loss of £743m
Ian Gordon, banking analyst at Investec, said:
Most of the banks will stay profitable throughout this crisis, I don't think NatWest is likely to pay out, but all of the others are in a position to pay a dividend.
Looking forward to Lloy beating expectations on Thurs :-)
It is thought bank bosses will show caution around paying dividends until they know the full scale of the downturn.
Staley said: 'The decision around bonuses will be made at the end of the year. We want to do the right things for our customers and our clients.'
HSBC, Lloyds and Barclays are expected to make profits of £3.8billion, £631million and £1.5billion respectively in 2020, while state-backed NatWest is tipped to make a loss of £743million.
