Excellent dividend, this Company just keeps on delivering, should be a long-term hold in everyone's portfolio.

[plasybryn] 14/11/2013 17:23

£10 on its way.

Goes Ex dividend tomorrow, so buy today if you want the end of August income payment.

Still performing

Thanks, tiger, will check it out.

A buy in yesterdays Investment Chronicle with 5.5% dividend

[wirralowl] 03/6/2013 20:15

Bought in this morning on the dip at 832p. Still see Europe as risky, but valuations are cheap and wanted some exposure to Euro income, so fits the bill quite nicely. Decent discount to NAV too, pretty difficult to find nowadays in many IT's.

I've answered my own question.

The 2013 dividends will be paid in three equal instalments of Euro 0.1834 per share on 31 January, 31 May and 30 August 2013. The January dividend payment of Euro 0.1834 will be paid to shareholders on the register on 11 January 2013, having an ex-dividend date of 9 January 2013.

Did EAT pay a dividend at the end of January this year? Thanks for any help.

The price here has held up very well over the last six months - especially compared to the other EU high yielders such as JETI and IDVY

Anyone attend the Shareholder Briefing on May 9th?

[plasybryn] 09/3/2012 19:53

Going higher what ever chart configuration?

[pherrom] 09/3/2012 11:17

Nah - it's a double bottom.

[plasybryn] 09/3/2012 07:36

Is that a massive head and shoulder configuration?

[plasybryn] 26/8/2011 11:26

Dividend paid today

[pherrom] 17/6/2011 10:54

Quite. We may have a bit of a wait before seeing a premium.

[plasybryn] 12/6/2011 14:56

Had a reply from Sir John Ward regarding the Script dividend issue. The shares are received at NAV which "protects other shareholders from being diluted in net asset terms".
The benefit the gentleman at the meeting had was from CGT rules apparently!

He concurs that "any advantage which may be available to shareholders will be mitigated by the extent of the discount at which shares may trade in the market at that point in time". He has promised to ensure the point is underlined in future Annual Reports. I'm sticking to receiving the dividend in cash until it moves to a premium!

[plasybryn] 02/6/2011 14:25

Whilst we wait for his reply, perhaps the benefits is Income Tax? You pay tax on a dividend, but no income tax on the proceeds from the sale of a share.
Anyway we shall see what he says.

[pherrom] 01/6/2011 11:38

I look forward to your further posts on the matter.

[plasybryn] 01/6/2011 09:13

I have written to the Chairman (Sir John Ward) today after speaking to the EAT Technical Team to confirm how it operates

[plasybryn] 31/5/2011 16:52

Pherrom: When I was at the Shareholder Briefing this month, it was suggested that this worked in your favour, but your point is well made and I agree it needs further investigation. Thank you for commenting and raising what maybe a glaring error!

[pherrom] 31/5/2011 16:38

Isn't it the shares which stand at a discount to the net asset value which is about 770p a share? So you would be paying about 80p more per share.

[plasybryn] 31/5/2011 09:44

Apparently if you opt for shares in lieu of the cash dividend, you get them at NAV rather than current share price. The NAV has been standing at quite a larger discount (10%+) so this means you get a double win. Nothing stopping you selling the shares the next day! Can't understand why everyone doesn't do this. No brainer?
