Equity [Abstract] |
Shareholders' equity | Shareholders’ equity As a result of COVID-19, Signet’s Board of Directors has elected to temporarily suspend the dividend program on common shares and has elected to pay the quarterly dividend declared on its preferred shares “in-kind” for the first and second quarter of Fiscal 2021. Dividends on common shares Dividends declared on common shares during the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2020 and August 3, 2019 were as follows:
| Fiscal 2021 |  |  |  | Fiscal 2020 |  |
(in millions, except per share amounts) | Cash dividend per share |  | Total dividends |  | Cash dividend per share |  | Total dividends
First quarter | $ | 0.00 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 0.37 |  |  | $ | 19.3 |
Second quarter (1) | 0.00 |  |  | — |  |  | 0.37 |  |  | 19.3 |
Total | $ | 0.00 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 0.74 |  |  | $ | 38.6 |
(1) Signet’s dividend policy for common shares results in the dividend payment date being a quarter in arrears from the declaration date. As a result, as of August 3, 2019, $19.3 million, was recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets reflecting the cash dividends on common shares declared for the second quarter of Fiscal 2020. Dividends on preferred shares Dividends declared on preferred shares during the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2020 and August 3, 2019 were as follows:
