If Apple Buys Twitter... Dividend?

Jim Cramer on CNBC has been advocating for weeks, and even to a greater degree now, that Apple should buy Twitter. If Apple did buy Twitter, say next month, how would that affect GSVC?

As far as I can tell, assuming the premium paid for Twitter would mean immediate profits for GSVC, this would allow GSVC to offer a dividend in relation to the profits. Since, given their current tax status, they would have to give out 90% of profits in the form of a dividend. Would the resulting dividend come at EOY or could they offer it sooner?
