The Special Divi not in my TDdirect either.

They paid another divi of mine 4 days late last week. They can't get the staff you know!!!

[eeza] 06/6/2013 22:41

No. The Special was due to be paid today.
Ordinary Div for 1p is due to be paid on 12 July - goes XD next Wed 12 June.

[bobby.ifa] 06/6/2013 22:25

Due 12th of July

[uknighted] 06/6/2013 20:17

Not in my Hargreaves Lansdown account either.

[killieboy] 06/6/2013 19:36

Not received spec div due 5 June - anyone else before I get on to registrar?

[pillion] 28/5/2013 10:05

Thanks for that WJC
ALY is on my watchlist

The normal dividend is covered (just). The special dividend is not but they have 26mm distributable reserves and 35mm net cash so a 3.5mm oneoff is no big deal. On a cashflow basis, they are cashflow positive on average even after the normal dividend if you strip out the hotel purchase. So no reason why they can't maintain the 2p payout as long as trading remains ok.

very nice special divi and all that

but realistically how long can they continue to pay out uncovered dividends ?

any thoughts

and yes I do know they have some cash right now

kibes

I did similar yesterday, may continue on tuesday, I
still think we will get an approach between 29th
May and 14 June, just in time to take it private
before news of any chinese franchise licence
agreed.

Just bought a few of these in time to gatecrash the 60 year special dividend party!

[shepc] 23/5/2013 16:00

Is it me? My display shows two buys of 500k shares at 16:28 but these were there before 16:00

[bobby.ifa] 22/5/2013 12:10

She does look ready for a takeover, debt free & cash positive. Only need to look at Barrett Developments now & where they once were when they were saddled in debt.

[srpactive] 22/5/2013 11:43

The buyer probably has not finished buying, once they
have finished they will rns the news.

I am very positive indeed of a bid.

I 4get how long they have to issue an RNS, but share price quiet so far...



Very tight spread, it appears...
28.55/28.86

Just bought a few.

[bobby.ifa] 22/5/2013 08:50

I thought those trades would have warranted an RNS.

[napoleon 14th] 22/5/2013 08:32

Either way, it'd be useful 2 know about yester's huge volume.
Last time (Q312) started a rise of some 40%.....

[wolterix] 21/5/2013 22:09

No offence but nah

I think they're just being nice, like their shop assisstants
in those dresses

[srpactive] 21/5/2013 19:58

Imho I reckon the management is reducing the cash pile in
preparation of receiving a bid, they new about the 60th
anniversary when they announced the last dividend.
I think they have just made up an excuse.

An offer of 38p for starters.

Nice new dress for Mrs!

[bobby.ifa] 21/5/2013 16:09

Nearly 2 million bought, 3 batches of 500,000, yet she hardly moves. Most odd.

[cheshire man] 21/5/2013 13:54

Indeed cestnous :-)
