worth holding for now?1 May 2019 18:13
in 2018 KCOM went ex dividend on the 21st June. My assumption (unless told otherwise) is the cash offer will include the final dividend being paid to holders prior to completion. If this is the case, to me, it is worth hanging onto the shares. In the past it was often worth the wait for a cash offer to be completed as there were no dealing costs, but these are not as significant these days. If we are not going to get the final divi. and it looks as if there is not going to be a rival bid then to sell would be a better option, to the money working sooner.
