To begin, taxes are a key difference between the two issuances. The difference is due to this construct called the "dividend access mechanism." The B shares have the dividend access mechanism, while the A shares do not. What the dividend access mechanism allows B shareholders to do is to forego withholding tax (15% under Dutch law, verified by the Dutch Revenue Service). Withholding tax reduces the size of your investment earnings, so taking the right steps to not be subject to this is highly advised. So, what is a withholding tax? Why is a withholding tax present? Quite simply, it is Dutch law: "Any payment by the Company will be subject to Dutch withholding tax (unless an exemption is obtained under Dutch law or under the provisions of an applicable tax treaty)". The withholding tax just means that 15% of your dividend received is cut. So, you'll effectively receive 85% in a net payout.

fair comment, sp rational no it's the option whether to buy before the e-dividend day or on the drop after ,unless you buy at a drop a few weeks before the ex day , then you have the decision 1. to sell the day before ex day or hold for the dividend and except the drop in th sp on ex day. 2. or wait and buy on the drop plus the normal full after , but as pointed out , in a rising market. a share price can recover the ex-dividend drop on the same day.as BP
Conclusion So the company is already FCF positive after its dividends. Now, it is in a position where its operating environment is improving, which will result in even higher cash flows in the future. Therefore I believe that the current high dividend yield of the stock is safe. And because a dividend yield of 7% that is sustainable is more than enough return over the long term, investors should seriously consider buying this stock.

HGG Date: Wednesday 19 Apr 2017 Henderson Group published its first quarter trading statement for the three months to 31 March on Wednesday, with assets under management at period end increasing to £103.1bn, which the board said was driven by positive investment performance and foreign exchange gains. Wall street says; Henderson Group’s PE ratio of 23.11x and estimated 42% growth in earnings next year give it an extremely low PEG ratio of 0.5x. This means that when accounting for its growth Henderson Group’s stock can be viewed a very good value based on its fundamentals.
DCC falls 4.9% to £70.05. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with its full year results which include 23.7% rise in pre-tax profit to £268.2m. Instead, it seems the shares have also succumbed to a bout of profit taking as well as one analyst downgrading earnings forecasts to factor in investments in France and new foreign exchange assumptions.
