Dividend?23 Mar 2021 10:22
Hi all, new to this board and thinking of getting in as the price seems to be going in one direction. Regarding the dividend RNS a while back (quoted below), does this mean anyone who has shares as of close of play 25 March (i.e. there's still time for me to get in) will get a dividend paid on 24 May (subject to approval at the AGM on 20 May)? If so, do you still have to be holding the shares on 20 May (or 24 May?) or can you sell before? Seems a bit too good to be true. I remember missing out on a BRH dividend when the SP was about 50p and the dividend was an amazing 42p so people pretty much got a free ride from then especially as the SP later soared to 120+p before falling back more recently. Any advice? And any guesses as to what amount the dividend will likely be, roughly?
Subject to shareholder approval of the final dividend at the Annual General Meeting, to be held on 20 May 2021, the board of directors has approved a record date of 26 March 2021 and a payment date of 24 May 2021. The shares will be quoted ex-dividend on 25 March 2021.
