Imperial Tobacco Half Year results and confirmation of the dividend policy

So the Imperial Tobacco half year results are out and Imperial Tobacco have indeed confirmed their intentions with their dividend policy. They are to increase the interim dividend by 11% (31.7p to 35.2p).

The board have also confirmed that they intend to increase the dividend by at least 10% per year, music to any income investors ears. Of course this is liable to change pending performance but is great to hear. They have confirmed that they intend to employ this dividend policy for the medium term. The shares go ex dividend on the 17th July 2013 with a pay date of 16th August.

On this information I have taken a position at 2300p per share.
