The fees totals to $0.13/sh -- more than the dividend itself. Furthermore, some of us have to pay income taxes on the Gross dividend of $0.129/sh One would be better off not getting that dividend at all!!!

What is that $0.11/share fee and who is getting that fee. I was charged $.09/sh (titled GDR processing fee) + a flat "reorganization" fee by the brokerage firm. Since the $0.11 and $0.09/sh fee seems to vary with the brokerage firm - and therefore not a fee charged by the custodial bank for the depository receipts for the stock?

Anyone has more info on that fee?

[Normally an ADR processing fee (for foreign stock dividends) is MUCH lower. I don't know what is the difference between ADR and GDR.]
