Standard life dividend

ceewash

Have just received my SL dividend and am little disappointed. Does anyone know how it's calculated. I read in telegraph it was 12.8p per share on top of basic payout of 14.7p. Mine should come to £345.67 but I only got £284.
Is it right to complain about a freebie?

Sorry I got over excited. I've just got my email as well.

The 14.7p is the full year figure, inclusive of the interim dividend paid in November 2012. The interim dividend was 4.9p per share, and the final was 9.8p, for a total of 14.7p.

Can someone clarify the payment of the special dividend?
I have a scrip dividend set up with my Standard Life shares, but I've just received a cheque this time instead. Could they not use the scrip setup with the special dividend of something?

I seem to recall them scrapping scrip dividends last year.

The company that was running it scrapped the Scrip option, tho I believe there is now a Drip option, but has broker fees.

Thank you, that would explain it.
