The owner of Warhammer battle figurines admitted yesterday that it accidentally paid investors millions in illegal dividends.
Games Workshop said that due to a ‘minor technical breach’ a 45p per share dividend was paid out last November before it filed its half-year accounts with Companies House.
That meant the payment amounted to an ‘unlawful dividend’.
While the mishap meant the firm could serve legal claims against its shareholders and directors, it said it would not do so and would table a resolution at its AGM in September to remedy the issue.

Oopsie!
How come when the rich overpay us by a penny they are all over us to get it back but when they do it to themselves (and it’s always over not under) they are awfully relaxed about it?
