It happends sometimes , earache. I always check first as well. :)
Yeah, not sure if they will actually appear in our accounts. Maybe in the same way that old delisted or susspended shares do. Jeeze, I still have half a dozen shares showing in mine that go back years.
MXP, for one. :(
The shares and cash divi's are explained in the same RNS and are two distinct issues. Unless, as also mentioned, that the demerger does not go ahead. If that happends then the realised profits will then also be available to do what they want with. Be that a divi, an aquistion, share buy-back.... or whatev's. But not for decorating BoJo's or CF's flat. :)
"Directors are planning to effect the Demerger by way of the Distribution in Specie. However, in order to do this the Company first needs to create realised profits of the requisite amount which is the purpose of the Reduction of Capital.
In addition, the Board believes that, subject to the future performance of the Company, the creation of realised profits will give the Company the ability to not only effect the Distribution in Specie but also to make distributions to Shareholders "
So two different issues
