WN.PR.A: 0.5% of Dividends are "Ineligible"

An Assiduous Reader points out that I have been scooped by Financial Webring, which points out a highly unusual situation in the taxation status of WN.PR.A dividends:

The other preferreds (WN.PR.B, WN.PR.C, WN.PR.D & WN.PR.E) have no such division.

The Weston preferreds were last mentioned on PrefBlog when they were placed on Review-Developing by DBRS, where they remain.
