Strike price
The share price specified in a dividend election plan to establish equivalence between alternatives of dividends in cash or dividends in shares.
Meaning the strike price is the set price at which shareholders can exchange dividends for shares
Calculate Strike price
= (3.84 + 3.93 + 3.90) / 3 = $3.89
= $3.89 x 97% = $3.7733 strike price
Calculate the number of shares that you will receive under the dividend election plan
a. Net dividends that will be taken as dividends
Total dividends = 2,000,000 x $0.05 = $100,000
Share election dividends = $100,000 x 85% = $85,000
Net dividends = $85,000 – ($85,000 x 0.28) = $61,200
b. Calculate the number of shares received = dollar value of net dividends ÷ strike price
= $61,200 / 3.7733
= 16,219 shares
Shareholders VS Stakeholders
Shareholders own shares in a company.
Stakeholders is a far more general term, which covers anyone who has an interest in the company’s activities (including shareholders).
Ordinary shares VS Preference shares.
Ordinary shares are normal shares with normal voting rights and normal rights on distribution of assets when a company is wound up.
Preference shares confer some degree of benefit over ordinary shares. For example, they may have preferential dividends, meaning the preferential shareholders are paid their dividends in full before ordinary shareholders are paid any dividends.
Application for shares VS Allotment of shares
Application for shares means the process of a potential investor sending in money, requesting a company to issue the investor with new shares.
Allotment of shares means the process of a company then issuing new shares to the investors.
Calls in advance VS Calls in arrears
Calls in advance are monetary amounts sent in to pay on partly paid shares before the company has requested for payment. These amounts are held by the company on the shareholders’ behalf; a liability of the company.
Calls in arrears are unpaid monetary amounts on partly paid shares issued which the company has requested (called) for payment; an asset of the company.
Dividends vs Dividend election plan
Dividends are distributions by a company to its shareholders, normally in cash.
A dividend election plan gives the shareholders an option to receive their dividends as either cash or as new shares issued in the company. The shareholder elects (chooses) which option he/she prefers.
