Answer 1

5 years

Answer 2

you need to look up what the "ex dividend date" and the record date is. is - go to the tesco web site, then to the investor relations section. Look at what the record date is for the shares you hold - basically you have to have the shares registered in your name on that date in order to qualify for the dividend - either the final or the interim. You should also find this in the investor relations section of the company's statutory annual report

Answer 3

5 years

Answer 4

Look at the ex-dividend date. Once this date passed you will be entitled to the dividend, even though it will be paid later. Keep in mind that stocks often drop by the amount of the payout on that date.

Answer 5

check the dividend date & record date. You must hold it at least until the record date. the record date is the date that they check to see who holds the stock. As long as you own it by close of business that day, you get the dividend.
