The Dividend Database rolls forward the shareholding from the previous year’s Dividend Database

After using ‘Refresh’, the holding for 2022-23 must be updated manually in the wizard for these companies.

The 2022-23 holding is the rounded down figure of the 2021-22 holding x a multiplier.

The 2022-23 ‘ordinary share price’ will show which holding may need to be updated.

Example (GSK see below)

317 ‘Old’ shares, gives 253.60 ‘New’ shares which would result in a holding of 253 ‘New’ shares
