A cash dividend (a direct payment drawn from a company's profits and distributed to the people who own its shares) of GBP 0.35 per share has been declared by CKNHF. The cutoff for eligibility falls on 28 August 2026, and payment goes out on 11 September 2026. The schedule is semi-annual, meaning this type of distribution is expected to occur twice per fiscal year.
The three dates and what each one controls
Any dividend payout runs on a fixed sequence of dates. Missing what each one does is an easy way to miss the payment.
The ex-dividend date is 28 August 2026. Anyone who purchases shares on or after that date will not receive GBP 0.35 for this cycle. Ownership has to be in place before that cutoff. Because standard equity settlement takes two business days to formally transfer ownership after a trade, buyers who act just before the ex-dividend date are the ones who make it onto the register in time.
The record date is also 28 August 2026. This is when the transfer agent takes a formal snapshot of who is on the shareholder register. When the ex-dividend date and record date fall on the same calendar day, as they do here, the settlement math already accounts for the gap between trade and registration.
Payment reaches eligible shareholders on 11 September 2026.
What the semi-annual label tells you
Semi-annual means twice per year. That pace sits between the quarterly rhythm common among large American listed companies and the once-a-year approach used by many European issuers.
Each declaration is its own board decision. The semi-annual label describes the expected frequency, not a guaranteed amount in future periods. What the current filing confirms is one payment: GBP 0.35 per share, going out 11 September.
Currency and what was signed
The dividend is denominated in British pounds sterling. Shareholders whose accounts are settled in another currency will receive whatever the exchange rate produces around the payment date. The filing states no projected yield, no earnings guidance, and no forward-looking figures.
What was declared: one semi-annual cash dividend of GBP 0.35 per share, with an ex-dividend date of 28 August 2026 and a payment date of 11 September 2026.
