Who knows what OS they were using to do their calculations. The calculated rate for the current OS of ~104 million shares and a $2.5 million in dividends yields the 2.4%.
These dividends are a joke. Here is a list of the last 4 dividends: 10/26/17 **** .023975 07/18/17 **** .068878 04/27/17 **** .039553 03/13/17 **** .0174127
George wants to fool investors by declaring these puny dividends. Its all smoke and mirrors. He really believe that Americans are dumb as he has stated earlier.
