Basically the company will recommend the annual dividend and pay a small interim and a larger final to make up the total (so the final can be adjusted if necessary).
I suppose ROLLING because that was the total dividend last year.

Worse than that for a lot of these foibles the brokers don't have a list of expressions that you can look at to make sense of them. Perhaps they don't want us on a DIY basis!!!

Note that you should not take brokers research at face value and also they are usually long term analysis.
New Coverage and reiteration are just what they say. New coverage could mean there are a new set of clients potentially buyers (assuming the research is bullish).
Distribution of ratings
Our research ratings are defined with reference to the amount by which we expect the absolute
return to change over the next 12 months:
Rating Definition
Buy Absolute return expected to increase by more than 10%
Outperform Absolute return expected to increase by between 5% and 10%
Hold Absolute return expected to change by between -5% and +5%
Underperform Absolute return expected to decrease by between 5% and 10%
Sell Absolute return expected to decrease by more than 10%
