Zeder Investments Limited (ZED) achieved a significant milestone as the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) granted its approval for the company’s proposed special dividend. This move marks the successful culmination of a series of announcements and deliberations regarding the distribution of a non-recurring special gross dividend of 5.0 cents per Zeder share, a decision that was subject to regulatory endorsement.
The saga began with a declaration announcement on 25 July 2023, followed by an update on 8 August 2023, both of which garnered keen attention from Zeder’s shareholders. The initial declaration announced the approval of a special dividend from the company’s income reserves, sparking excitement among investors. However, the announcement was tempered by the caveat that the dividend’s disbursement hinged on the obtainment of the required SARB approval.
The subsequent update on 8 August 2023 disclosed that Zeder’s board had greenlit the special dividend, but the dividend’s issuance remained dependent on securing the necessary SARB endorsement. The news set off a flurry of anticipation among shareholders, who eagerly awaited further developments.
This chapter of uncertainty came to a decisive close on 15 August 2023, as Zeder proudly announced the successful receipt of the crucial SARB approval, signifying the fulfillment of the previously mentioned condition. The reverberations of this announcement were palpable as the company’s shares exhibited a surge in trading activity.
