I don't know how quickly you need to get out, but if not too quickly, this share is likely to climb again over the next 4 - 6 weeks. Yes, not to the pre-dividend level, but definitely to a better level than it is at now. If you can hold out it would probably be worth doing so, but if not, why not sell in batches at say 50 - 70c splits as it climbs, to allow you to eat and drink in the meantime (obviously you need to check the viability, relative to the brkerage costs etc.) but if you are sitting with enough of them, you should be able to off-load them over a relatively short time-span and still get a decent average price on them as you sell on their way up.
