Dividend Information
When declaring a dividend, Atalaya communicates the specific dates associated with the following events:
- Ex Dividend Date: the date prior to the Record Date; investors who purchase Atalaya shares on the Ex Dividend Date are not eligible to receive the declared dividend.
- Record Date: the date on which Atalaya establishes who is eligible to receive the declared dividend; shareholders on Atalaya’s register on the Record Date are eligible to receive the dividend.
- Due to standard trading settlement of T+2, investors who wish to receive a dividend payment must purchase shares on the day prior to the Ex Dividend Date.
Currency Election
- Atalaya declares its dividends in United States Dollars (“USD”), therefore by default shareholders will receive their dividend payments in USD.
- Shareholders also have the option to elect to receive their dividends in Sterling (“GBP”) or Euros (“EUR”) (the “Foreign Designated Currencies”) by communicating their currency election to Atalaya.
- The exchange rates used to convert USD dividends into GBP or EUR equivalents are fixed and announced by Atalaya following the dividend declaration.
