Standard Life Share price increase?

Options
I hold S/L shares. I am aware there was a general share holder meeting on Friday, and I am wondering why the share price today has increased - over 468p today, which I think is the highest it has ever been.
Why such a rise?
Is this related solely to the imminent dividend and 73p per share "windfall", or due to something else?
Apologies if this is a really silly question, but I am intrigued!
Many thanks!
