Disappointing to see they are still receiving claims against their past European business. Even more disappointing the relative size of the most recent one. This is going to put the knockers on the shareprice isn't it.

CWA1
Thanks for that, I did see it and assume that ex date is 30/9 or 1/10.

The Board has resolved to pay a final dividend of 5.25p per share on 19 November 2015, subject to approval at the Annual General Meeting, based on shareholders on the register on 2 October 2015.

[billy5] 23/9/2015 08:15

Saw the amount of the proposed divi at 5.25p but couldn't find the ex date.

Anybody with a keener eye?

[garycook] 23/9/2015 07:31

Nice 5% increase in the Dividend to 5.25p

[longwell] 08/9/2015 07:46

nice dividend coming up shortly, roughly 5% in a share that has potential to grow and has very little in the way of huge rises already to take shine off of prospects.one to buy,hold and take the yield and modest growth.

[skinny] 05/8/2015 12:01

20 month high @115p.

[garycook] 31/7/2015 01:06

Yes the Market like it ?

[cockerhoop] 30/7/2015 11:23

Long term trends not great here AUM down to £902m down from £1230m in 2011.

New business margins -6.2% for 2015, aspirations are for mid single digits in medium term compared to 8.3% for 2011. Structural changes in the market appear to mean historic margins are unlikely to be repeated.

Hansard Global plc ("Hansard" or "the Group"), the specialist long-term savings provider, issues its new business results for the year ended 30 June 2015 ("FY 2015").

Summary
· We have continued to drive the implementation of our sales and distribution strategy and have seen increased levels of well diversified new business come through in Q4 FY 2015. In particular we have been pleased with new business streams in North Asia, the Middle East and Africa;

· New business in Q4 FY 2015 for Hansard International Limited ("Hansard International") was £19.8m in Present Value of New Business Premiums ("PVNBP") terms vs £10.9m (adjusted for assumption changes) in Q4 FY 2014 and £11.4m in Q3 FY 2015;

· New business for the full FY 2015 totalled £60.6m PVNBP. As expected, this has decreased from £83.0m in the previous year due to the effect of a large distributor in Japan ceasing to write business during FY 2014;

· As announced on 5 June 2015, we reached a full and final settlement of £1.4 million regarding liabilities for UK Chargeable Event Certificates with HMRC. After taking into account professional and advisory fees, this resulted in the release of £3.3m to the profit and loss account as a result of a provision of £5 million having been previously established;

· Writs totalling approximately £8.8m relating to legacy operations of Hansard Europe Limited ("Hansard Europe") are outstanding against the Group at 30 June 2015 (30 June 2014: £5.9m);

· The Group as a whole remains profitable and well capitalised.



Gordon Marr, Group Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"With the strategic enhancements to our product range and distribution networks now complete, we have started to see encouraging signs of recovery after a challenging two years. Organic growth has increased significantly in Q4 and we see this continuing into FY 2016 to date. We are continuing to develop our presence in targeted locations where we believe that new licences could offer significant opportunities in the next 12 months. The Group remains profitable and is well capitalised to take advantage of the new business opportunities that we have identified."

Some volume starting to creep in here today. Has it been tipped on the Investor Chronicle site per chance. Lots of small lot purchases looks of it.

I suppose to be fair, recovery is going to take time, the graph is suggesting patience from here rather than fireworks. Just as well there is a big fat dividend to look forward to in the meantime.

Looks like he is being generous and has gifted them to someone, guessing probably a family member.
