$VALE are there any LT SHers here that can explain the remuneration Dividend to me.

I’ve been in the name for some time. Around an 11$ avg. Over the years I’ve been cyclically in and out and always try to be on record for all the Div pay outs if it makes sense. A Dec remuneration dividend was declare and still had yet to be paid out. Could someone please kindly explain this to me? I’ll call IR tomorrow and see what they say. Thought I’d try here first.
