Altogether, this gives a total of 16.4 cts worth of dividends announced in the space of 21 months. Based on the closing price of $0.355 as at 9 Feb 18, just prior to the announcement of the 2.2 cts dividend, the company has now declared dividends worth an impressive 46% over the said period.
As we have mentioned in a note in March, annual dividends of more than 3.5-4.0 cts is probably not sustainable. However, shareholders will probably not be complaining about the Company’s sudden generosity.
