Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought it was a 3% discount on reinvested dividend shares as defined my the PLAN. In any event it is a strong incentive to hold the commons.
You are correct. There is a 3% discount on the DRIP. The 1% bonus interest is for shares not in the DRIP. I have shares in a DRIP in an RSP and they get the dividend with no bonus interest but receive a discounted price for purchase of the DRIP shares. The dividend in my unregistered account, no DRIP, receive the 1% bonus interest. The 1% is calculated on the dividend not the share price.
