The B shares will pay a one-off dividend of 32.5p each, while the C shares will be purchased for 32.5p each by UBS, with no dealing expenses. UBS will then sell the shares back to Dunelm.
The B shares will be automatically converted into deferred shares once the dividend has been paid, and ultimately will be repurchased byy Dunelm, through UBS, for a penny a pop.
