Paying this over a year or more would be a money losing effort for ANVH and they admittingly need cash for deals which make s a dividend payment really dumb especially when there has been more stock sold into the market since announcing it.
It's a monumental waste of money because the dilution occuring reduces the value of the shares currently trading and increases the exposure of the required dividend payment.
So what is taking place is not only devaluing the pps but it is costing ANVH more money that they need for deals.
