Reading into this, it appears this is the interim (half year) dividend payout, with a final dividend also paid. So in effect two payments per financial year, which now runs Jan>Dec.
In each of the previous 5 years the final dividend payment has been twice that of the interim payment.
Assuming the final dividend is 80p, I'd get a payment of £3.20 for my 4 shares. Giving a total dividend for the FY of £4.80.
Given I invested £429 to purchase the shares it's the equivalent of a 1.1% interest rate, based only on dividends ignoring any movement in the initial capital.
