ComfortDelGro moves dividend payment date to 31 August

The company adjusted the payment date in light of the Presidential Elections.

ComfortDelGro will be paying out its dividend for the financial year ending 31 December 2023 to 31 August, a few days earlier than its previous intended date for payout.

The company previously announced that it would pay its dividends on 1 September.

In a bourse filing, the company said it moved the payment date due to the polling day for the Singapore Presidential Election, which will be held on 1 September.

Following the adjustment, the company announced that the “Share Transfer Books and Register of Members of the Company will be closed at 5.00 p.m. on Tuesday, 22 August 2023 to determine shareholders’ entitlement to the proposed tax-exempt one-tier interim dividend of $0.029 per ordinary share for the Declared Interim Dividend.”

“Duly completed and stamped transfers received by the Company’s Share Registrar, B.A.C.S. Private Limited, at 77 Robinson Road, #06-03 Robinson 77, Singapore 068896, up to 5.00 p.m. on Tuesday, 22 August 2023 will be registered to determine Shareholders’ entitlement to the Declared Interim Dividend,” the company added.
