Dividends Adjustments on Shares

Shares are subject to dividend adjustments.

When a company pays dividends to its shareholders it is essentially reducing the value of the company by the amount of the dividend.

This is reflected by a reduction of the share price at the market open on the ex-dividend date (the day that the company stock starts trading without the value of the dividend).

If you hold a stock that pays a dividend, then you will be credited the after-tax amount of the dividend on the ex-dividend date.

The applicable tax rates for dividends are as follows:

Germany: 25%

UK: 0% (i.e. no tax is applicable on dividends)

US: 30%

Your long positions will receive an amount calculated as follows:

Dividend Adjustment = stock dividend declared x position size in shares x (1 — the applicable tax rate)
