SYNT ex-dividend on 8/29 (6%, special)
Syntel, an IT service firm, will pay a special dividend of $1.25 on September 15 to holders as of Tuesday, August 29. That’s 5.6% of the current share price. Syntel received good press coverage recently for outsourcing nearly all its work to its Silicon Valley-style subsidiary in India. Strong Q2 results and guidance increase 2 quarters in a raw didn’t hurt either.

Hi, ex-div is 8/29 as posted.
BTW, AAUK may be planning a spec div. About 2%. If they are not bought before.
