The Board has announced that the GBP equivalent for the forthcoming USD$0.24 divi per share has been set at £0.1828 per share.

The previous divi (20 December 2021) was paid out at £0.1806 per share.

Eligible shareholders will receive this quarter's divi payment on 28th March.

From the RDSB web site. Eligible RDSB shareholders will receive the forthcoming Q1 divi of USD $0.1735 announced on 29th April at the following GBP Sterling rate: 12.26 pence per RDSB share. Payday is 21 June 2021.

The previous divi payment (March 2021) was 11.96p (US $0.1665) per RDSB share.

That was a daily uncrossing trade (UT) , i.e. a matter of backroom book balancing at the end of the trading day.

@papucel: with effect from 1st April 2021, Halifax will charge £9.50 per trade (£2 for regular scheduled investments). They are bringing in a new annual account fee of £36 per annum wef April 2022 which is a one-off fee covering all accounts held (e.g. trading, ISA, "share builder").

I moved from Halifax to Jarvis XO some time ago as there was a worthwhile saving with XO: £5.95 per trade, no annual fee for trading account or ISA.

The actual 2021 1st quarter divi will be announced on 29th April 2021.

"The Board expects that the first quarter 2021 interim dividend will be set at US$ 0.1735 per share, an increase of around 4% over the US dollar dividend for the fourth quarter 2020. The first quarter 2021 interim dividend is scheduled to be announced on April 29, 2021." - Shell's release through the London Stock Exchange

The Q4 divi announced today is exactly the same as for Q3.

Here's the key text of the Board's divi announcement to the London Stock Exchange:

"Released 07:02:00 04 February 2021
The Hague, February 4, 2021 - The Board of Royal Dutch Shell plc (“RDS” or the “Company”) today announced an interim dividend in respect of the fourth quarter of 2020 of US$ 0.1665 per A ordinary share (“A Share”) and B ordinary share (“B Share”).

The Board expects that the first quarter 2021 interim dividend will be set at US$ 0.1735 per share, an increase of around 4% over the US dollar dividend for the fourth quarter 2020. The first quarter 2021 interim dividend is scheduled to be announced on April 29, 2021."

Today's announced divi is for Q4 2020 and is US$ 0.1665 per RDSB share - it's the same as announced for Q3 2020.

The Board's suggested 4% divi increase relates to the interim divi 2021 Q1 which is scheduled to be announced on 29 April 2021.

I sold out all RDSB in my nominee account (made a nice profit on my purchases in April and May) but have left the RDSB holding in my ISA account intact. I'm looking to buy back at around £12.

@Oracle: As, I'm a professional biologist, I have to correct you. No, there is no DNA involved. The Oxford/AZ adenovirus vector vaccine uses RNA - that's rather an important distinction. Regarding efficacy of a single dose of the Oxford/AZ vaccine, here's what the Oxford team itself says, "ChAdOx1 was chosen as the most suitable vaccine technology for a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine as it has been shown to generate a strong immune response from one dose in other vaccines".

Nope.

The Board of Shell has just announced that the GBP Sterling equivalent dividend payment for Q3 (US$ 0.1665) has been set at 12.48 pence per B Share.

This will be paid out to qualifying shareholders on 16th December.

The September Q2 divi (US $0.16) was paid out at 12.09 pence per qualifying B share.

The RDSB divi payment of USD $0.16 (16 US cents) divi per share on 21st September to eligible shareholders will be paid out at the sterling amount of GBP £0.1209 (12.09 pence) per share.

The previous 16 cents divi payment in June 2020 was paid out at 12.68 pence per RDSB share.

Dunning-Kruger alert!

Argh. Mea culpa! Dutuch time is one hour AHEAD of BST.

Dutch time is one hour behind British Summer Time

I've just heard Martin Lewis speaking about this on his regular Monday finance slot on BBC Radio 5 Live. He says that the feedback from the MSE survey paricipants is that they'll remember the travel companies which did the right thing by them...and they won't forget those which they feel treated them unfairly. Jet2 are rightly in the "saints" category.

As Millionaire says, Jet2 has been good at refunding passengers. I booked a package to the Balaerics with Jet2 Holidays in February with a 4th April UK departure date. The holiday was cancelled by Jet2 Holidays in late March. I was offered the options of deferring the holiday, booking a new holiday at a later date or taking a credit voucher. I declined those options and emailed operations to ask for a refund instead. Jet2 Holidays emailed back and processed the refund onto my original payment card very promptly.

BP results are out. The BP divi is maintained at US$0.105.
