Come on guys, is 6%, not 6 sen. This company has 300mil shares, if paid 6 sen, it has to fork out RM18mil, and its retained profit so far has RM19mil only. So 6% is only equal to 0.6sen, company will only fork out RM1.8mil to pay to shareholder.
Par value is still used as a reference of some sort, for private placement, dividends etc. Hehe my guess is, there is an incoming amendment because the wording in the latest dividend announcement is wayyyyyyy different than the previous one.
6%= 0.06
6% of par value = 0.06 x 0.1 = 0.006 cents, which is a bit more than half a cent.
Go check from the source of the info, not simply taking information from somewhere:
B12. DIVIDEND PAYABLE The Company has declared a first interim single tier dividend of 6% of the issued share capital of the company on 28th February 2017 in respect of the financial year ending 30th June 2017.
Thanks cwingz. It was a bursa Malaysia website, not just some website :). The only body we hope can look after our investments and disseminate legit info. Good that we have discussion here and everyone did their part to verify info and now we know that Bursa are not without faults.
Neither of those values. As per the 6% issued share capital, should be 0.6 sen. Just like the 2nd March 2016 announcement. Less than 1 sen per share but still, they give dividends.
From the 6%/6 sen dividend issue, I have found out that there are many experienced, helpful, tactful and fellow-protective counter members.
Thumbs up to all the solidarity and camaraderie among counter members. A good learning curve of what a forum should be - warm sharing, helping one another and winning together.
This is not so in some forums. Acrimonious quarrel, vulgar language, seniors belittling junior members, sarcasm, etc.
Thanks ULTRAINVESTOR for the meticulous patience to explain the issue bit by bit. Not to forget JASON LIM for discussion based on rational logic and firm conviction.
LA777 for his passionate innocence to share but misinformed by the remisier.
The whole issue shows that no one is free from faults or errors, even Bursa or so-called authorities.
Not to forget the impact or repercussions caused by such human errors or lapses.
It is oddly strange that the amended announcement was put up in cold, steely wordings without any accountability of apologies from relevant parties.
Olga 0.06 for 0.575 is too high even its eps not so high.. but if people wanna rush in to buy please do so i can sell off first n buy back later 08/03/2017 23:36
FIRST INTERIM SINGLE TIER DIVIDEND OF 0.6 SEN PER SHARE FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDING 30 JUNE 2017.
Kindly be advised of the following :
1) The above Company's securities will be traded and quoted "Ex - Dividend” as from: 20 Mar 2017 2) The last date of lodgment : 22 Mar 2017 3) Date Payable : 31 Mar 2017
Remarks: The Entitlement Description should read as 0.6 sen per share and NOT 6 sen per share and the Entitlement in Currency should read as 0.0060 and NOT 0.0600. Arising from the migration to the no par value regime under the Companies Act 2016, par value is no longer relevant.
