Read from actual ex-dividend records, observed since 15 Sept 2021 — which is where our archive begins, not necessarily where this company began paying. Payout as a share of earnings is not shown because we do not hold usable earnings per share for this listing. Record and payment dates are not held for these markets, so only the ex-dividend date is shown — that is the one that decides whether a holder is entitled.
