Big Four Xmas sales figures due on 8/01/2001 ...I think ? Will prove interesting and see whether or not Tesco 'turnaround' in sales performance is working ?

Thanks. So also if I hold now but sell before Feb 11 I would not qualify?

Record Christmas for supermarkets as virus curbs see spending spree

That was sorted out years ago,clerical error and found by Tesco.

Apparently there are grossly exploitative employers with the temerity to pay people less than the legal minimum wage:

Tesco was Britain’s worst minimum wage offender as the business department identified a raft companies that failed to pay staff in full.

Porsche 928, this is the season of good will to all men. Now how about being nice and contributing positively to the board?

Grantley, there was a RNS earlier in the month. The Special Dividend and Pension Contribution will be up for approval on or around the 11th FEB 2021 at the GM. Payout of the Special Dividend will be on or around the 26th FEB.
In other words, you have until the 11th FEB to be on the shareholder register. One thing to take into consideration if waiting as long as possible is the Christmas Trading update in January, if the update is as good as the city expects then there could be an upswing in the share price.

Pizza Hut, Tesco and Superdrug caught paying staff below minimum wage - the full list

Household names including Pizza Hut, Tesco, Costco, Superdrug and even Wigan Warriors have all been caught underpaying staff - in some cases by millions of pounds overall

Tesco's huge £9.7million error means 140,000 staff not paid living wage

supercity It will in New Year , particularly if Christmas trading has been strong.

Likely to be announced in January some time - 5b with 10b shares in issue is a chunky divi which the market definitely doesn't seem to have taken on board yet

[cwa1] 29/12/2020 08:36

Hasn't been announced yet @grantley

[grantley] 29/12/2020 08:33

Does anyone know when you need to have been be holding Tesco shares to receive the special dividend?

[melody9999] 28/12/2020 21:17

Tesco intends to return c. £5 billion of the net proceeds to shareholders via a special dividend, together with a share consolidation, and will also make a significant pension contribution of £2.5 billion to the Tesco PLC Pension Scheme shortly following completion. The special dividend is expected to be paid on or around 26 February 2021, conditional on obtaining shareholder approval at a general meeting which is expected to be held on or around 11 February 2021 (the "General Meeting").

[g2theary] 28/12/2020 20:53

There is talk about paying 3 billion off their pension deficit I've read somewhere. Also the is no mention of the amount of dividend in RNS by Tesco. I'd assume it's likly to be around 20p based on pension contribution taken in to account. Correct me if I'm wrong :)) should be a good day for these tomorrow IMO given Brexit :)

[konradpuss] 28/12/2020 17:29

Van, read the information that the company has already provided that is in the public domaine and then tell me were I am wrong.

[vaneric1] 28/12/2020 17:19

Too simple Konrad there are more things to take into account than that.

[konradpuss] 28/12/2020 13:29

Divide £5 billion (circa) into shares in issue - 9793.5 million = 51p

[vaneric1] 28/12/2020 12:47

I haven't seen it from the company, only as calculated by someone on here from the figures given and the shareholder numbers.
I think it will likely be less once the costs are taken out but what do I know?. :-)
