GM Gauv, I'm thinking that b'cuz last year's divi hit everyone's acct. all on the same day and triggered the DTC 'chill', that this time, by mailing out the 'paper', we (shs) will get them on diff. dates. This would mean that those who deposit them into their broker accounts will also do that on diff. dates over a span of ...who knows how long; some will never put them into their broker accts.
This process eliminates the sudden influx of 1 huge block of shares and so also eliminates a new DTC "flag on the play".
