BLLQF sets ZAR 0.3 semi-annual dividend with September 25 as the critical date

9/5/2026

The thesis on BLLQF's latest declaration is simple enough: ZAR 0.3 per share, semi-annual cadence, ex-dividend September 25, 2026.

What complicates it is that the ex-dividend and record dates fall on the same day, which collapses any positioning buffer to zero. Payment follows on September 28.

That calendar alignment is the mechanism worth understanding. When ex-dividend and record dates coincide, the window for late adjustment closes completely.

A shareholder either holds before the September 25 open or they do not collect. There is no settlement cushion between the two dates, no room to maneuver after the fact. The semi-annual label matters as a separate point.
