Internet Patents Corporation Announces Ex-Dividend Date of March 12, 2012 for Special Cash Distribution
SACRAMENTO, CA, Feb 09, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Internet Patents Corporation PTNT +2.61% (the "Company"), formerly InsWeb Corporation , today announced that NASDAQ has established the ex-dividend date for the special cash distribution declared by the Board of Directors on January 10, 2012. The distribution of $5.00 per share on the Company's common stock will be paid on March 9, 2012 to all shareholders of record as of February 10, 2012 (the "record date"). As the special cash distribution is expected to exceed 25% of the Company's current stock price, pursuant to the rules of NASDAQ, the ex-dividend date is March 12, 2012, the first business day following the distribution payment date. The special distribution follows the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of InsWeb Corporation relating to its insurance lead generation and marketing business by Bankrate, Inc., via a transaction that closed on December 21, 2011.
In addition, NASDAQ will apply its due bill procedures, pursuant to which trades of the Company's common stock entered into before March 12, 2012 and settled after the record date (the "due bill period") will have a due bill attached for the special cash distribution payable on March 9, 2012. This means that holders who purchase these securities during the due bill period (even if the trades are to be settled after that due bill period) are entitled to receive the special cash distribution, and sellers who sell the securities during the due bill period (even if the trades are to be settled after the due bill period) are not entitled to the special cash distribution. Investors who enter into trades to purchase common stock on or after March 12, 2012 will not be entitled to the special cash distribution payable on March 9, 2012
It looks good now,must be startup time or very close to (IMO)
Lovitt Resources Ltd
TSX: LRC.V
Tuesday, January 31, 2012
WENATCHEE — The first step toward mining millions of dollars in gold from foothills south of the city could begin next month, the president of a Canadian exploration company said Monday.
Lorne Brown of Lovitt Resources Ltd. said crews could begin by late February to drill holes — some a half-mile deep — to extract ore samples from a site about four miles south of Wenatchee.
“We’re confident that what we call the Wenatchee Gold Belt contains billions of dollars in gold,” said Brown. “It’s one of the best places in North America, maybe in the world, to look for gold.”
Announcement of the drilling follows Chelan County’s issuance of a permit to allow exploratory drilling through 2012 by the Vancouver, B.C.-based company. The one-year permit essentially restricts work on the property to the drilling of core samples.
The announcement also came as gold prices held steady Monday at $1,734.40 per ounce, a relatively high market price that Brown said has triggered gold exploration around the world.
Up to 50 drill holes, each measuring about 3-inches in diameter, could be sunk on the Matthews Property, a parcel above Squilchuck Road for which Lovitt owns mineral rights. The parcel is southeast of two former mining operations, the Lovitt and Cannon gold mines, which the company said jointly produced 1.6 million ounces of gold in 40 years of operations that ended in 1992.
The new holes, drilled with diamond-tipped bits, will supplement 46 holes made in the 1990s by two companies on the Matthews Property. Over 60 percent of those holes showed significant gold deposits, said Brown, but mining never took place.
Drilling new holes will provide better samples to assay ore samples and also allow more detailed, 3-D computer mapping of the Matthews Property and the adjacent Lovitt Mine, said the company president. The mine, now sealed, has seven miles of tunnels on nine different levels criss-crossing underground.
According to a Jan. 10 press release, Lovitt has secured financing for 4,000 meters of drilling in a first phase of exploration that would begin when roads clear of snow and mud, most likely late February or early March. A drill rig with an eight-man crew has been secured, said Brown, and is available as soon as weather allows.
Depending on first-phase results, additional drilling rigs could be readied within two months to begin a second phase, Brown added.
The drilling operation would run 24-hours a day in a remote location “that nobody would see or hear,” he said. “It’s benign from an environmetal point of view. Smaller and less intrusive on the landscape than (drilling) some water wells.”
A full-scale mining operation could be “a $100 million project, he said. “As big and busy as a major airport, covering 2 acres, employing hundreds of people and boosting the local economy like never before.”
But that would come only if drill holes found ore rich enough to mine at today’s prices, he admitted. “Then we’d likely sell our interests to a larger company with the resources to extract the gold.”
Brown added, “If we’re successful, the impact on the Wenatchee Valley would be huge. Just huge.”
HCA Holdings Inc., the largest hospital company by revenue, reported fourth-quarter profit surged because of an acquisition and said it will pay a special dividend of $2 a share.
Net income climbed to $1.94 billion, or $4.25 a share, from $283 million, or 65 cents, a year earlier, the Nashville, Tennessee-based company said in a statement. The quarter was boosted by gains from the purchase of the part of HealthONE it didn’t already own and from asset sales. HCA said 2012 earnings may be $3.35 to $3.55 a share, compared with the $3.49 average estimate of 22 analysts compiled by Bloomberg.
HCA may benefit as Americans who avoided spending on elective procedures return to the doctor in a recovering economy. The U.S. jobless rate fell in January to 8.3 percent, the lowest in three years, as payrolls climbed. Insurance companies including UnitedHealth Group Inc. and WellPoint Inc. predicted more use of health-care services when determining their earnings forecasts for 2012.

special dividend of $15 a share
Cabot Microelectronics Corp.'s CCMP +20.37% board agreed to provide a $15-a-share special dividend funded by cash on hand and new debt and boosted its share repurchase program, in an effort to buoy shareholder value.
Cabot makes chemical mechanical planarization polishing slurries and pads, which are used to smooth surfaces, such as semiconductor wafers.
Chief Financial Officer William Johnson said the plan for the special dividend is to return a significant portion of the company's cash balance not required for day-to-day operations back to shareholders. He added that the company has no debt outstanding and believed the new debt was a modest and prudent level of leverage.
Chief Executive William Noglows said he was pleased the company will be using its strong financial position to pay back shareholders and added that the new programs don't change the company's investment and growth strategies.
Cabot plans to pay a special dividend of $15 a share, about 37% of the Monday's closing price. The payout is expected to cost the company $345 million. Half the dividend will be funded from cash on hand and the other from new debt. The company said it plans to enter into a new $175 million term loan facility and a new $100 million revolving credit facility. It plans to declare and pay the special dividend during the first three months of 2012. Cabot doesn't provide a regular dividend.
The company also raised its stock buyback program to up to $150 million, from about $83 million. Cabot's market capitalization, as of Monday's close, was $922 million, according to FactSet.
In October, Cabot said its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings fell as softness in the semiconductor industry weakened revenue.
Shares closed Monday at $40.21 and were inactive premarket. The stock is down 3% year to date.
