NHC has the Special Dividend in the Bank along with another Billion+$$ besides.
[Washington]Soul Patterson is Australia's Leading or at least Oldest Investment Company.They are mostly a Family Run Concern that has operated since the 1890's.
They have an extremely well earned Reputation for providing and finding Top Management of their Enterprises.
They get NO Media Publicity,they do NOT seek it and more importantly do not NEED it.Washington Soul is probably the closest equivalent Australia has to Warren Buffett and Hathaway IMHO.

So because the Special Dividend equates to some $600mil Franked going into the Soul P 'vehicle'?I reckon that it's payment is as Certain as a Bank paying Term Deposit Interest.
cheers.
