Q: A follow up to my last question. If anyone buys publicly traded shares on the tsx after the ex-divi date they are not the party to legally receive the dividend. In this case Noverco simply purchased shares from me (on the public market) after the stated date. I feel they are just making up this rule hoping smaller investors will not challenge it. I have contacted the companies and am about to file a complaint with the TSX. Could you comment or provide guidance.
Q: Input regarding VNR rather than a question. I too expected a final payment as Sept 27 appeared as the x dividend date on several locations. After checking Sedar this morning I found this Aug 8 filing which sets Sept 30 as the x dividend date. Why the discrepancy?
Very annoying!

Q: I am one of those shareholders which held my shares in VNR until it went ex-divi. It seems the acquirer, Noverco has intentionally obfuscated the previous communications around the September dividend. Do you think the companies involved were trying to be, in anyway, less than fully transparent?
