Katana Capital Declares Fully Franked 0.5 Cent Dividend for June 2026 Quarter

Katana Capital Limited, trading on the ASX under ticker KAT, announced an ordinary dividend of 0.5 cents per fully paid ordinary share for the quarter ended 30 June 2026. The dividend is fully franked at the 30% corporate tax rate, providing shareholders with full franking credits alongside the cash payment. This reflects Katana’s status as a fully taxed entity able to pass on tax credits to Australian resident shareholders, offering additional tax advantages to those eligible.

The board expressed satisfaction in declaring this fully franked dividend, underscoring the company’s commitment to regular quarterly shareholder distributions. The announcement focused primarily on confirming the DRP pricing and did not include details on underlying earnings, investment returns, or capital position. Investors monitoring dividend sustainability should await future disclosures for comprehensive financial and operational insights.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan Price Confirmed Using Weighted Average Share Price

The DRP price has been confirmed at AUD 1.397439 per share, derived from the weighted average share price during the on-market DRP buyback programme conducted between 8 July and 22 July 2026. This method ensures the DRP price reflects actual market trading activity rather than an arbitrary figure.

Shareholders participating in the DRP will have their dividends reinvested automatically at this price, with new shares issued on 31 July 2026. The DRP is fully accessible to all shareholders without minimum or maximum limits, provided election notices were lodged with Computershare by the 9 July 2026 deadline. Shareholders who did not submit an election will receive their dividend in cash on the payment date.

Dividend Timeline: Ex-Date, Record Date, and Payment Date

The dividend ex-date was 7 July 2026, meaning shares purchased on or after this date are not eligible for the dividend. The record date was 8 July 2026, determining eligible shareholders on the company’s register. The dividend payment is scheduled for 31 July 2026, when cash payments or DRP shares will be distributed accordingly.

No external approvals or conditions were required for this dividend distribution, indicating a straightforward process consistent with ASX-listed company practices.

Shareholders should consult tax advisers regarding their individual tax treatment.

Update to Initial Dividend Announcement and DRP Price Calculation

This update on 22 July 2026 confirms the DRP price following the calculation period from 8 to 22 July 2026, supplementing the initial dividend declaration made on 1 July 2026. The weighted average price calculation over two weeks is a standard approach to establish a fair DRP price based on market activity.

Confirming the DRP price nine days before the payment date provides shareholders with clarity on the number of shares they will receive if participating in the DRP. This transparent disclosure aligns with best practices for ASX-listed companies.
