The payment date and all other terms remain as announced on 28 August 2026 — this finalisation is a conditions-precedent clearance, not a new disclosure.","plain_english":"Rainbow Chicken already told you it was paying a special dividend of 75 cents per share back in August. The only thing holding it up was a regulatory clearance from the South African Reserve Bank. That clearance has now come through, so the dividend is definitely happening. Nothing about the amount, timing or tax treatment has changed — this is just the last administrative box being ticked.","rating":"Neutral","event_posture":"no_edge","verdict":"This is a conditions-cleared notice, not a new dividend declaration. The special dividend of 75.0 cents per share and the total annual distribution of 135.0 cents per share were announced on 28 August 2026 and have been confirmed in full in this filing. The market priced those figures six weeks ago; this finalisation is execution, not a fresh catalyst.
