Dividends
What is a dividend?
A dividend is a taxable sum of money declared by a company’s board of directors and given to its shareholders out of the company’s current or retained earnings. Dividends are usually given as cash (cash dividend), but they can also take the form of stock (scrip dividend) or other property. There is no guarantee that a company will make dividend payments in any given year or years.
Can I have my dividends paid directly into my bank account?
Yes, this is possible. You need to contact our registrar First Transfer Secretaries on +263 4 782869/72, and provide them with your banking details as well as the instruction to directly deposit your future dividends into your account. They will assist you.
Can I take my dividend in shares?
It depends on the type of the dividend declared. If it’s a purely cash dividend, you do not have an option to take up shares instead. However, if a cash dividend with a scrip option is declared, you can opt to receive more shares in the company. If you are paid your dividend in cash, you can ask you broker to reinvest the proceeds into NMBZ Holdings shares on your behalf.

What is a share?
The ownership of a company can be shared by many people and organisations. A share is a unit of ownership. When you own a share you become a part-owner (shareholder) of a company and you will have the right to receive any dividends paid on each share that you own, receive an electronic or paper copy or summary of the company’s annual report and financial statements as well as any other shareholder communications. You will also have the right to attend, ask questions and vote at general meetings of the company.
What should I have to confirm my shareholding in NMBZ Holdings?
When you buy shares in NMBZ, or any listed company for that matter, you should get a contract note and then a share certificate from the broker through which you bought your shares.

What factors affect the share price of a company?
