This is the dilemma - because if you buy today, you'll qualify for the special dividend; but may lose out on a share price crash after.
But if you already hold the shares, and didn't sell them in the buyback, you've got that risk anyway. So, will the rump of Ascential (which still has £350m of retained shares, and they are cancelling the bought back shares) still have enough value to warrant buying more shares today?
