He he he! Konradpuss. Plus CWA1 thanks. Things will be different in 2024, spoke to Ravi about IR and communications with PI’s. Enjoy the rest of the year with Orch, get in now while it’s at 33p, as I honestly believe as a medium to long term investment and income return and growth there are few better shares and company!! Hargreaves and Interactive think so as have quite a few shares!!

Cowie19/97peter

Thanks for the confirmation of the pay day, it's good to hear it. You won't be surprised to hear I would rather have read it on a public announcement as opposed to a bulletin board...but hopefully we'll get there in the end!

On that note, assuming it IS paid on the date that will be a commendably quick turnaround from XD date to pay date and something that I'd normally be happy to publicise as a positive thing. Instead of which folk on here and other media sites have been very negative about it🤷‍♂️ A trick missed and a lesson to be learned IMHO...

Peter, did he 'tap you up' for a loan to pay the divi?

[97peter] 20/1/2024 10:13

All - Spoke to Ravi yesterday and he tells me definitely the 26th Jan divis paid. Plus he will be sorting Investor Relations piece and may do another Mello in May? Orchard are doing well!

[cowie19] 19/1/2024 22:06

CWA1 - Stockopedia states 26th Jan and they are usually accurate.

[muffster] 19/1/2024 22:02

97peter, aka Ravi, when is the dividend

[cwa1] 19/1/2024 21:47

Thanks for that Cowie19. If I may ask, where did you pick that up from?

[cowie19] 19/1/2024 20:47

Now I believe the divi to be paid on the 26th.

Sitting on one's hands watching the price action here is becoming rather boring.

Well, XD day today, we know that for sure. Obviously there's no publicly announced pay day. Went to one of my favourite dividend sources...



...just to see how they handle it. And they've simply left it off their normal list because it doesn't have an announced pay day! It's the first time I've seen that happen on that site and it's not a good first IMO

[konradpuss] 16/1/2024 15:42

My view, ineptness.

I hope it is not that they have run out of money!

[davidosh] 16/1/2024 15:32

97peter...I think you are very unfair having a pop at CWA1 as he is certainly a respected investor making a valid point.

This frustration has been caused by poor communication and lets face it the dividend is now a crucial part of the investment case.

[cc2014] 16/1/2024 14:55

I've been watching and drawn my own conclusions.

Best not to ignore red flags for too long in my experience.

[cwa1] 16/1/2024 13:38

I AM a shareholder. I DID read your post. Everything I have stated is factual(to the best of my knowledge and I'd expect to be picked up on it if it wasn't). Perhaps YOU could deal in some facts rather than make up dates and then criticise others for asking you politely about them? In my business accuracy has always been important and I prefer the same from others.

I'll be delighted if they pay within a week-but it would be nice to be told this by the company themselves.

Anyway, I've cluttered up the board enough for now and everyone can draw their own conclusions and inferences.

[konradpuss] 16/1/2024 13:24

Now even Donald Trump was calling for peace with all yesterday!

[97peter] 16/1/2024 13:23

Did you not read my post? ORCH have always paid within a week so settle down CWA1. I bet you don’t even have any shares??

[cwa1] 16/1/2024 13:14

Not being pedantic at all. The company have not publicly released a date. You quoted a precise date-and claim to be a company insider-therefore I assumed you had checked the date with them rather than simply plucking one out of mid air. What's pedantic about that?

[97peter] 16/1/2024 13:01

CWA1 are you being pedantic? ORCH have for the last 5 years paid 1 week after record/x-divi dates. So could be 26th? I was assuming as there are not many shareholders and the top 10 holders, including II andHL brokers have around 97% of the shares. Probably around another 30-40 small PI holdings, so can be quick and painless within days!!

[cwa1] 16/1/2024 12:56

and take a 2p divi payment on 23 January!!!

Lovely 97peter, can we take that as a company sanctioned date that the dividend pay date is 23/1? That is INCREDIBLY quick given the XD date is 18/1!! However I'd be delighted with that...

[97peter] 16/1/2024 11:56

Sadly not Konradpuss! I wish I had some spare cash or could sell some other shares in my SIPP and ISA’s to buy another 100,000 shares at 35p and take a 2p divi payment on 23 January!!! I think the buyers must be new or existing shareholders seeing the merits and medium term growth and opportunity divi payments from this excellent company!

[konradpuss] 16/1/2024 09:23

It's Peter buying!

[cwa1] 16/1/2024 09:05

Lordy...do not adjust your set...

[playful] 16/1/2024 09:04

Goodness me we have some blue this morning!
