Wasn't the share out to shareholders of IDS from the money received from the sale of HLS (being a one off payment)?
Any future dividends from HLS to the shareholders will go to those who buy HLS when it is a separate viable company and to IDS company (for the shares holding it retains of HLS from the deal).
The shareholders of IDS (you if you hold any)would only benefit(from HLS) if those profits contribute to IDS sufficiently for them to pay out a dividend (if and when they wish to).
This is how it appears to me at this time. Or am I wrong in my assumption?
