LSI Industries Inc. Declares Regular and Special Cash Dividends Payable In 2012
05 12월 2012 - 6:00AM
LSI Industries Inc. (Nasdaq:LYTS) announced that
its Board of Directors today took two cash dividend actions. First,
the Board declared an accelerated cash dividend of $0.06 per share
payable on December 24, 2012 to shareholders of record on December
17, 2012. The declaration and payment of this cash dividend is
in lieu of the regular quarterly cash dividend that would have
normally been paid in February 2013. Second, the Board
declared a one-time special cash dividend of $0.12 per share also
payable on December 24, 2012 to shareholders of record on December
17, 2012.
The Board has taken these dividend actions in the best interest
of LSI Industries' shareholders in light of the likelihood of
potential tax law changes and the pending increase of the federal
tax rate on dividend income in 2013. The special cash dividend
of $0.12 per share is intentionally stepping outside of LSI
Industries' stated dividend payout ratio as set forth in its cash
dividend policy. Given the debt-free and strong cash position
of LSI Industries, as well as the outlook for future cash flow
generation, the Board believes it's appropriate to return a modest
portion of available cash to shareholders on a tax-efficient
basis.
