They have committed, in their prospectus, to pay out £55m as a dividend and that this should, thereafter, be a progressive policy. Now hands owns 60% odd of this thing and is sitting on quite a big "loss" against the float price so that dividend stream is quite valuable. I think it will be paid that unless, in the face of announcements from the (idiotic) Tories they want to preserve capital - although no reason to. So they have a mkt cap of £613m or to put it another way around 297m shares in issue. That equates therefore to around 18.5p of dividend per share or a yield of around 9%. They say it'll be paid in respect of the results to March 2014 so I would imagine that it will be paid sometime later this year say august or September (but the timing is a guess on my part). And not sure if it'll be the full 18.5p as the Company hasn't been listed for a full year so it might be a pro-rated dividend. It might be buried in the prospectus somewhere. But I do think these are good value but caveat emptor as always.
