You need to be in before the 27th for the final div. Rf
The Board has approved a final dividend of 10.13p per share. Combined with the increase in the interim dividend, this brings the full year dividend increase to 2.1%, in line with the growth in full year underlying diluted earnings per share at a constant tax rate. Dividend cover has increased to a strong 2.5* times. The final dividend will be paid on 6 July 2012 to shareholders on the Register of Members at the close of business on 27 April 2012.

Ex dividend day is 25th April next Wednesday record date is 27th.

If you want the dividend you must buy by close on Tuesday 24th.

"Go south young man!"

Morning all
my one remaining brain cell is confused, yes agree with skinny on dates, yes agree with BB on pay day,but not on final divi price . extract from tesco figures below
Dividend
The Board has approved a final dividend of 14.76p per share. Combined with the increase in the interim dividend, this brings the full year dividend increase to 2.1%, in line with the growth in full year underlying diluted earnings per share at a constant tax rate. Dividend cover has increased to a strong 2.5* times. The final dividend will be paid on 6 July 2012 to shareholders on the Register of Members at the close of business on 27 April 2012.

Am i reading this wrong which is more than likely , they say the final divi is 14.76

There is an update rns 10p now and 4p later.,. edit think i got that wrong tooooooo.

would rather have mrw

Final dividend is 10.13p Read the replacement RNS that precipitated the fall after the initial mark up.

Final Results - REPLACEMENT

Thanks BB found it

First divi was 4.63p paid on 23/12/11 (interim) and second divi will be 10.13p payable on 06/07/12 (Final) . The word final in the sentence 'The Board has approved a final dividend of 14.76p per share' has a slightly different meaning from that of a dividend break.

Thank you harry .

Looks like it might pull back into the 290's .....not in and as I'm no good at shorting....might wait for a bounce later....

hope not rf, (W) Tankers £4 a bit off the mark, will continue to hold as they're bound to come back over the next 6 months.

yes...I'm sure a strong rebound will come...but perhaps not without a drop into the upper two hundreds first...
