Dicker Data Limited (ASX:DDR) shares go ex-dividend on Friday 13 November 2026 for an 11.5 cent fully franked quarterly dividend, and shareholders who want that dividend paid in new shares rather than cash have until 5pm on Tuesday 17 November to lodge an election under the company's dividend reinvestment plan (DRP). The timetable was set out in an Appendix 3A.1 lodged with the ASX on 10 November 2026. It covers the quarter ended 30 September 2026, has a Record Date of Monday 16 November and a payment date of Tuesday 1 December.

The Key Dates in Dicker Data's 10 November Notice

The Appendix 3A.1 shows a dividend of 11.5 cents per ordinary share, franked at 100% at the 30% corporate tax rate. No part of the payment is conduit foreign income and there is no unfranked component. The ex-date is Friday 13 November, the record date is Monday 16 November, and the payment date is Tuesday 1 December 2026.

Under the ASX's T+2 settlement cycle, the ex-date sits one Business day before the record date. A purchase made on or after the ex-date will not settle in time for the buyer to appear on the register at the record date, so the dividend stays with the seller. Shares acquired on or before Thursday 12 November, and held until settlement, carry the entitlement to the 11.5 cent payment. From Friday onwards the shares trade without that entitlement.

How the DRP Election Deadline Works

The DRP is listed as fully in operation for this dividend, with a 1% discount to the issue price. The election deadline in the notice is 5pm on Tuesday 17 November 2026, the business day after the record date. That gives registered shareholders a short window after the register closes in which to confirm or change how they want to receive the dividend.

The notice states that shareholders who make no election will be paid in cash. Participation is therefore opt-in. Anyone who already participates and wants to stop, or who wants to join for the first time, needs to have the relevant instruction with the share registry by the deadline. Elections received after that time would apply to later dividends, subject to the DRP Rules, which Dicker Data publishes in the governance and policy section of its investor centre.

The DRP is not underwritten, and shares allocated under the plan are rounded down to whole shares.

How the DRP Issue Price Is Calculated

The issue price is based on the arithmetic average of the daily Volume weighted average prices of trades in Dicker Data shares on the ASX over the 10 business days up to and including the record date. For this dividend the pricing period runs from Tuesday 3 November to Monday 16 November 2026. The 1% discount is then applied to that average. The notice lodged on 10 November left the final DRP price blank, as it cannot be calculated until the pricing period has ended.

The calculation means that part of the pricing window falls before the ex-date and part falls after it. Shares are due to be issued under the plan on 1 December, the same day cash dividends are paid to non-participants.

Dicker Data followed the same pattern earlier in 2026. For the dividend declared on 12 May, the shares went ex on 15 May, the record date was 18 May and the DRP election date was 19 May, again one business day after the record date, with a 1% discount. Payment followed on 2 June.

A Quarterly Rhythm Through 2026

Dicker Data pays dividends every quarter, and its investor centre states that its dividends are fully franked. The company's dividend history page lists four declarations in calendar 2026, each for 11.5 cents per share. The first was declared on 26 February with a record date of 4 March and payment on 19 March. The second was declared on 12 May, recorded on 18 May and paid on 2 June. The third was declared on 11 August, recorded on 17 August and paid on 1 September. The latest was declared on 10 November.

Taken together, that is 46 cents per share declared across the four 2026 notices. The declaration dates follow the company's reporting calendar, with announcements in February, May, August and November, and payments landing roughly three weeks after each declaration. For shareholders tracking ex-dividend dates on the ASX, the timing has been regular: an announcement early in the month, an ex-date within a few days, and a DRP election date the business day after the record date.

What Full Franking Means for This Payment

Because the dividend is fully franked at 30%, each 11.5 cent dividend carries a franking Credit of about 4.93 cents per share. The grossed-up value of the dividend is therefore about 16.43 cents per share. Eligible Australian resident shareholders include the grossed-up amount in their assessable income and can generally claim the franking credit as a tax offset, subject to the Holding Period and other rules administered by the ATO.

The franking treatment is the same whether the dividend is taken in cash or reinvested. Shares issued under the DRP are treated as if the Cash Dividend had been paid and then used to acquire new shares, so the dividend remains assessable income in the year it is paid. The DRP shares also carry their own cost base, set by the issue price, which becomes relevant on any later disposal.

Key Takeaways

Dicker Data's quarterly dividend timetable is set: 11.5 cents per share, fully franked, ex-dividend on Friday 13 November 2026, record date Monday 16 November and payment on Tuesday 1 December. Shares need to be acquired by Thursday 12 November to carry the entitlement. The DRP remains open with a 1% discount, pricing is based on the 10 business days up to the record date, and the election deadline is 5pm on Tuesday 17 November. Shareholders who do nothing will be paid in cash. The 10 November notice continues the regular quarterly pattern seen in February, May and August, and the next scheduled checkpoint is the confirmation of the DRP issue price once the pricing period ends on 16 November.
