Let's see 8% of 2012 earnings = $4.6M 8% of 2013 earnings = $5.9M
Total $10.5M Divided by 165M shares gives 6.4c/share A yield of 15.2%
You will need $10M for buybacks either way. I suppose it's possible if they can get a big enough loan.
The important thing though is to tell investors what to expect. So that could be 1c per Q in 2015 and 2c per Q in 2016, and take it from there. That shouldn't require much planning. Makes you wonder if Solomon has done much planning at all. So far.
