Disposal of the Asia interest resulting in a So called special dividend that was basically a bonus to the Tax man and a slap in the face to shareholders. Shares were then consolidated giving 15 6.33p for every 19 5p held to try stop share price fall, Saying your new share was a bigger stake therefor your dividend will be greater share. Most people thought they were in for a bonus but if you sell part of your business and share out the money instead of investing it back into the company your assets are reduced as is the companies value hence the share price fall. History shows the price should fall a bit more yet after ex div but who knows ?
