Ah, that refers to the time period in the financial calendar (ending 30 June 2022) in which the company's earnings were sufficient to allow payment of a dividend to shareholders.
It's just company accounting. To receive the dividend, you have to hold until 16th Sept.
From the horse's mouth, found in the "Dividends" section of the Interim Results RNS, posted on 9th August 2022:
Dividends
"In light of the opportunities to invest in organic and inorganic growth and the wider macroeconomic position, the Board is proposing an interim dividend of 0.45p per ordinary share (H1 2021: 0.26p per ordinary share). This is in line with the dividend policy announced at the November 2021 Capital Markets Day. It will be paid on 11 October 2022 to shareholders on the register of members at the close of business on 16 September 2022."
Hi N2321, where did you read that? If you provide a link I can check it out.
A very reliable website for dividends, ex-dividend dates and payment dates is stockopedia. It's a paid site, but you can get some info for free, so check out this link for RPS dividends:

I'm not going to read too much into the analyst meeting, other than it's a sign of ITX growing up from a loss-making company needing to raise money on AIM to a more mature company ready to make a profit and list in the US.
Mature companies have more scrutiny, need to provide more to the City, but in return, gain stable IIs and can advance to the next level.
It's great to see.
Surely there won't be another round of fundraising?
Doesn't Bill know that we've got Mattja's smug and gittish "I told you so" guarantee and his back-of-envelope calculations that LND raised enough money from the warrants?
Besides, Mattja has an "Awful lot of information" that he's just dying to share on this board, so maybe once he has shared it you might change your tune.
With all the current global turmoil/recession/economic worries/inflation etc... Total and Toyota are companies that would want to complete a deal for syngas power.
It's a deal that would benefit them and give them stability/financial savings, so it's less likely to be cancelled or postponed because of the global uncertainties.
Current circs might even be accelerating it.
This seems like good news, no?
Total and Toyota are serious global players, with money and resources to make things happen. This is what we EQT shareholders have been hoping/waiting for.
Expected sale date is end of Sept? That's not too long to wait... Obvs there is no guarantee it will complete, but I'm hoping they're not giving themselves a huge runway because it's nearly completed.
If DX manage to get re-listed we can start a sweepstake of guessing the share price.
I'm going to go for 12p.
The 30p suspension price was before huge % falls for other shares, so expect DX to fall a commensurate amount. Plus there will be desperate PIs heading for the door trying to get anything they can for their shares.
It's a story Douglas Adams (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) told for years:

His is far better than hers, and comes with a fantastic punchline.
The Candy vs Bonnier court case is hilarious!
I was dead set against the terms of AAQUA's buyout of BOOM last year, offering a aotal of £12 per share, comprising £2 cash plus a share in AAQUAA valued at £10 per share. AAQUAA's shares are unlisted, with no immediate timeline of them being re-listed.
Thankfully, despite the Candy-Bonnier bloc trying to force this through, it was rejected. However, it now appears Candy took up shares in AAQUA, based on Bonnier's advice, and now Candy is suing him!
That could have been us!
Hopefully now only proper players in the podcast space will be considered suitors for BOOM, if an offer comes in.
Okay, I can answer my own question. One of the payments was a dividend, the other was a PD (Property Income Distribution). The PID is not classed as a dividend, but akin to earned income, so is taxed at 20% for basic tax-rate payers.
Lanstead are out by now, hence low volume days and no real downward pressure on the share price.
Just patiently waiting for news, and, if it comes, this will shoot up :)
