Re: Dividend and Distribution Hikes - 2012
Here's an interesting one.
NAL Energy (NAE) is getting taken out by Pengrowth (PGH) in a deal where NAL shareholders get 0.86 shares of PGH for each NAE share. If the deal proceeds as outlined, NAL shareholders will end up with a 20% dividend increase.
Marvelous ! Until PGH cuts the dividend after it realizes it cannot sustain the greatly increased debt load

Say you owned 1000 shares of NAE. At 60 cents a share per year, that's $600 in annual dividends. After the deal, you'll own 860 shares of PGH, which pays a dividend of 84 cents a year. 860 x 0.84 = 722.4!The proposed business combination is expected to be accretive upon closing to Pengrowth shareholders on a funds from operation and production per share basis, and also provides NAL shareholders with a 20.4% increase in monthly dividends per share, an increase in reserves per share and exposure to a company with a longer reserve life index.

Hi,
I don't have the official announcement, but deep in an Argus report I found that Royal Dutch Shell raised their quarterly dividend to .86 (annual = 3.44). I just received my dividend at the old rate, so this increase will be effective (their) 2012 Q1.
