Unbundling dates from SENS for normal people

[Schmidt]

Friday, 15 May 2009 (So, last day to trade on Friday if you want your included Vodacom shares) Last day to trade in Telkom shares on the JSE to participate in the Unbundling. Monday 18 May (Telkom and Vodacom shares trade separately on the 18th, but you can still get the R19 divi from Telkom) Vodacom lists on 18 May 2009. Friday, 22 May 2009 (The Special divi is there to prevent the Telkom price from collapsing, it is already priced into the current Telkom share price) Last day to trade in Telkom shares on the JSE to participate in the Special Dividend (R19). Monday 1 June 2009 Special Divi paid out.

What is the earliest date that I may sell telkom shares and still recieve the special dividend?

The shares trade "ex" dividend on 25 May, but it states the record date for the divi is set for 29 May. I'm not entirely sure to be honest, but I'd say the 25th of May.
