I wonder how many Qantas shareholders who were, until the APA bid, participating in the now defunct Dividend Reinvestment Plan 'caught short' and have experienced a delayed dividend payment because The Rat did not have details of Bank Accounts for electronic lodgment of the latest dividend?
I have carefully watched my mail and the only inkling of a delay in paying the latest dividend was late last month when told the amount of the payment but couldn't be paid blah blah blah. I wonder of this ploy was intentional on the part of Qantas or an oversight by some over-paid work experience kiddie? Whatever, Qantas now has the additional use of quite a few million ('000s??) dollars for a few weeks.
A nice windfall if ever there was one.
