Sino Agro Food Inc (fka SIAF)

SIAF anticipates being able to payout a cash dividend sometime in 2018, with the intent of increasing its dividend payment to shareholders as the IOA’s develop and provide stronger dividends to the Company. More details regarding distribution of a cash dividend in 2018 will be made available in the Company’s Q1 2018 report due in May, allowing the Board additional time to assess both the amount and timing of the dividend based on current activity, still underway.

I think everyone agrees the cash dividend amount and timeline is completely based on how quickly they can close the $100M loan. Based on the language it looks like they clearly expect it to close before the 10-Q since "current activity" (AKA loan talks) is still underway and they imply that by the time the 10-Q is released, they will have had enough additional time to assess both the amount and timing of the dividend since the loan will no longer be "still underway"..(AKA it will have been closed and announced by then)

As I said before, I already expected the loan to be announced by now but was wrong so we are long overdue.
