Buckle approves one-time payout for shareholders
Associated Press, 09.20.11, 07:57 AM EDT
KEARNEY, Neb. -- Teen clothing retailer The Buckle Inc. said Tuesday that it will pay shareholders a special dividend of $2.25 per share, in addition to the regular quarterly payout.
Dividends are cash payouts that companies give to their shareholders, and the Kearney, Neb., company didn't explain its reasons for the special dividend. In general, dividends can entice shareholders to keep their shares rather than sell them, and they can also indicate that a company has extra cash on hand.
Buckle has kept the regular dividend at 20 cents per quarter for nearly three years. But in that time it has also paid two one-time dividends, of $2.50 and $1.80.
In the most recent quarter, which covered May through July, Buckle's revenue rose 12.6 percent and net income rose 13.5 percent.
The special and regular dividends are payable Oct. 27 to shareholders of record Oct. 14

TORONTO - Gluskin Sheff + Associates Inc. (TSX:GS) will pay a special dividend and raise its regular quarterly dividend by 18 per cent, the wealth management company announced Thursday as it reported that fourth-quarter profit nearly quadrupled.
The special dividend of 80 cents per common share will be paid on Oct. 21.
The Toronto-based company will also pay a regular dividend of 13.75 cents per share on Oct. 21 and then increase the payout to 16.25 cents per quarter, or 65 cents per year on an annualized basis.
"Despite ongoing volatility in global capital markets, we continue to see opportunities to build our business," said Jeremy Freedman, Gluskin Sheff's president and chief executive officer.
Net income for the three months ended June 30 was $22.2 million or 75 cents per diluted share, up from 20 cents per share or $21.8 million a year earlier.
Revenue was $48.6 million, up from $21.8 million. Most of the improvement was came from performance fees, which rose to $21.1 million from $1.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.
The performance fees are earned when the company exceeds pre-specified rates of return.
The company's basic management fees, calculated as a percentage of assets under management, rose by about $1.1 million to $20.8 million.
For the financial year ended June 30, 2011, net income was $49.9 million or $1.69 per diluted share with $129.9 million of revenue from all sources. Fiscal 2010 had $38.4 million or $1.30 with $123.3 million of revenue.
Gluskin Sheff stock closed at $18 at the Toronto Stock Exchange. At that price, the new regular dividend will yield four per cent annually.
The Board of Directors of Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE / Euronext Paris: PM) today increased the company’s regular quarterly dividend by 20.3%, to an annualized rate of $3.08 per common share.
The new quarterly dividend of $0.77 per common share, up from $0.64 per common share, is payable on October 11, 2011, to stockholders of record as of September 27, 2011. The ex-dividend date is September 23, 2011.
Aug. 30, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Giant Interactive Group Inc. (NYSE: GA), one of China's leading online game developers and operators, today announced that the New York Stock Exchange has established September 12, 2011 as the ex-dividend date for the special cash dividend declared by the Board of Directors on August 8, 2011. The dividend of $3.00 per ordinary share or ADS will be paid on September 9, 2011 to all shareholders or ADS holders of record as of August 31, 2011 (the "record date"). In addition, the New York Stock Exchange will apply its due bill procedures.
Pursuant to the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, when a dividend is declared in a per share amount that exceeds 25% of a company's stock price, the date on which that company's shares will begin to trade without the dividend, or ex-dividend, is the first business day following the payable date. The Company understands from the NYSE that, because the $3.00 per share special cash dividend is expected to exceed 25% of the Company's current ADS price, the above-mentioned rules will apply and the ex-dividend date has been set by the NYSE as September 12, 2011, the first business day following the payment date for the special cash dividend. The Company further understands that pursuant to the due bill procedures, trades of its American Depositary Shares (ADSs) entered into before September 12, 2011 and settled after the record date (the "due bill period") will have a due bill attached for the special cash dividend payable on September 9, 2011. 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 dividend, 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 dividend. Investors who enter into trades to purchase ADSs on or after September 12, 2011 will not be entitled to the special cash dividend payable on September 9, 2011.
Exactly what I thought,I'm holding on for now.I think many people sold today though,believing they will still get the divy since they were holders on Aug 9.
Ex-dividend day is one day to late to get the special dividend,if you are not in the day before you get nothing.When you sell after the record date you are selling your shares with the dividend attached.Aug 23th you must own shares to collect the special dividend.
wz..on RNWK,my understanding is that will have to keep shares at least until Aug 23(ex-divy date Aug 24)to be eligible for the $1 divy,am I right?Many seem to think they could sell tomorrow 7 still get the divy.
Nordic American Tankers Limited ("NAT" or "the Company") (NYSE: NAT - News) today announced that the Company has declared a dividend of $0.30 per share for 2Q2011which is the same as for 1Q2011. The relative position of the Company improved in 2Q2011 compared with many of its competitors. NAT is in a very strong financial position and must be differentiated from shipping companies with weak balance sheets. These levered companies are unable to maintain their dividend payments in the weak market which prevailed during 2Q2011. Furthermore, NAT has a large credit facility available as explained later in this report. NAT is firmly committed to protecting its underlying earnings and dividend potential.
The Company will pay the dividend on or about August 31st, 2011 to shareholders of record as of August 19th, 2011. Starting in the fall of 1997, when NAT acquired its first three vessels, the company has paid a quarterly dividend for 56 consecutive quarters. Including the dividend for 2Q2011, the total dividend payment over this period amounts to $42.44 per share.
During the fourth quarter of 2010 our operating fleet stood at 15 vessels. By the end of October this year the Company expects to have 19 trading vessels, bolstering our earnings and dividend capacity following this expansion. Our fleet will include two newbuildings from Samsung Shipyard in Korea, one to be delivered in August and the second in October. Both newbuildings are fully financed. The Company remains committed to its strategy of accretive growth through acquisitions and a strong balance sheet. This disciplined approach is particularly important in a soft mark

Vodafone to Pay GBP2 Billion Dividend on Verizon Agreement
Q
By Ben Livesey - Jul 28, 2011 2:45 PM PT
Vodafone Group Plc (VOD), the world’s largest mobile-phone company, said it will pay a special dividend of 2 billion pounds ($3.3 billion) to shareholders in February, after the board of Verizon Wireless, in which Vodafone has a 45 percent stake, agreed to pay a $10 billion dividend.
Vodafone’s share of the Verizon Wireless dividend will be $4.5 billion and the U.K. company will receive the payment on Jan. 31, it said in an e-mailed statement today. The balance of the payment from Verizon after Vodafone makes the special payment to shareholders will be used to reduce net debt, it said.
“Our long-term partnership in Verizon’s strong and successful wireless business has seen the value of our investment increase significantly over recent years,” Vodafone Chief Executive Officer Vittorio Colao said in the statement. “The dividend from Verizon Wireless allows us not only to reward our own shareholders with an immediate and sizeable cash return, but also to continue to reinvest in our business to improve our customers’ experience, further strengthen our competitive position and create additional value for shareholders.”
Vodafone Chairman John Bond told shareholders in London this week that the prospect for a dividend from Verizon Wireless, its U.S. venture, looks “very good.” Vodafone has retained its stake in Verizon Wireless even after failing to receive a dividend from the company since 2005, while partner Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ) has focused on paying down debt.
RealNetworks, Inc. Announces Special Dividend and Reverse Stock Split in Connection with Strategy Review
- Company continues internal strategic review
- Cash distribution of $1.00 per share
- One-for-four reverse stock split
SEATTLE, July 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital media software and services company RealNetworks, Inc. (Nasdaq: RNWK) today said that its Board of Directors has progressed far enough in its strategic review of the company's businesses and strategy to make two announcements regarding its capital structure.
First, the company has declared a special dividend of $1.00 per share of its common stock, payable on August 23, 2011, to holders of record as of the close of business August 9, 2011.
Second, the company has decided to implement a one-for-four reverse stock split.
"Over the past four months we have undertaken a thorough, top-to-bottom review of RealNetworks current businesses and future growth opportunities," said Rob Glaser, Founder and Chairman of RealNetworks. "We have completed the first phase of that analysis and are now putting together what we believe to be a very compelling strategy and plan to reinvigorate RealNetworks and to set the company up for renewed growth.
"As part of this analysis, we believe that the company has excess cash relative to our anticipated future operational or strategic needs," Mr. Glaser said. "Accordingly, we are choosing to return some of this cash to shareholders. After the payment of this dividend, we expect to retain sufficient capital to pursue growth both through new product introductions and acquisitions."
In consideration of the stock price change that is expected to result from the dividend of a significant amount of the company's cash, the board also approved a one-for-four reverse split of RealNetworks common stock, which it expects to implement at the close of business on August 30, 2011.
"We believe that the reverse split may make our shares more accessible to a broader universe of institutional investors, reduce shareholder transaction costs in buying our stock, and bring our share count into line with other companies our size," said Mr. Glaser.
"The RealNetworks Board has rigorously reviewed our capital structure and believes that a dividend and reverse split is in the best interests of all RealNetworks' shareholders," said Eric Benhamou, RealNetworks' Lead Independent Director.
The cash dividend is expected to total approximately $136.8 million, and the dividend payment will be made on August 23, 2011. As of June 30, 2011, RealNetworks had $328 million in cash and short-term investments, $66 million of which is held overseas. The company expects to have approximately 34.2 million shares outstanding after the reverse split, compared with 136.8 million as of June 30, 2011.
A portion of the distribution may be taxable as dividend income to the extent paid out of a U.S. shareholder's pro rata share of RealNetworks' current or accumulated earnings and profits. The portion of the distribution that will be taxable as dividend income will not be determined until after December 31, 2011. RealNetworks can make no assurances as to the tax treatment of the special dividend. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors on such tax treatment, which varies by type of shareholder as well as by a shareholder's respective tax basis and holding period. Additional information on the dividend, the reverse split and the tax treatment can be found in a special FAQ on the company's investor website at http://investor.realnetworks.com.
"Regular way" trading in RealNetworks common stock is expected to be "ex-dividend" on the NASDAQ Global Select Market beginning on August 24, 2011. Persons who purchase RealNetworks common stock on the exchange on or after the "ex-dividend" date will not be entitled to receive the special dividend payment. RealNetworks common stock is expected to start trading on a reverse stock split-adjusted basis on or about market open on August 31, 2011.

TULSA, Okla., June 18, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Boston Avenue Capital, one of the largest stockholders of MRV Communications, Inc. , today demands that MRV Communications immediately declare and pay a special cash dividend to its stockholders.

(RTTNews) - The supervisory boards of Germany's Deutsche Börse AG (DBOEF.PK: News ,DBOEY.PK: News ) and NYSE Euronext Inc. (NYX: News ) have approved a one-time special dividend of 2.00 euros per share to be paid by the holding company of their merged group, the two companies said Thursday. The boards of the two companies have also approved Deutsche Borse's purchase of the remaining stake in Eurex, which it owns jointly with Zurich-based SIX Group.
In mid-February, Deutsche Borse agreed to buy New York stock exchange parent, NYSE Euronext, for $9.53 billion in an all-stock deal to create the world's biggest stock and derivatives exchange.
The supervisory board of Deutsche Borse and the board of directors of NYSE Euronext said Thursday they have approved the two resolutions previously announced on June 7. One of the resolutions calls for a one-time special dividend to be paid by the merged entity's holding company Alpha Beta Netherlands Holding N.V., or Holdco shortly after closing of the merger.
Based on the share exchange ratios agreed under the merger deal, the planned distribution translates into a special dividend of 2.00 euros for every Deutsche Borse share that is tendered in the current exchange offer and a special dividend of 0.94 euros or $1.37 per NYSE Euronext share. The total dividend amount paid out by Holdco is expected to be about 620 million euros or $904 million, assuming 100 percent acceptance by Deutsche Borse shareholders in the current exchange offer.
The cash distribution will be paid from Holdco's capital reserves and requires approval of the board of directors of Holdco following closing of the merger.
2-Nyrstar to buy Breakwater for $639 million
Wed Jun 15, 2011 5:17am EDT
BRUSSELS, June 15 (Reuters) - Belgium-based Nyrstar (NYR.BR), the world's biggest zinc producer, is buying Canadian group Breakwater (BWR.TO) for C$619 million ($639 million), part of a strategy to buy more mines to increase self-sufficiency.
Nyrstar said on Wednesday it will pay an agreed C$7.00 per share and Breakwater shareholders will also get a special dividend of C$0.50. Overall the deal is worth C$663 million to Breakwater shareholders including the dividend.
The acquisition will increase the percentage of zinc Nyrstar gets from its own mines to 43 percent from 31 percent, bringing it closer to its medium-term target of 50 percent.
Shares in Nyrstar increased by as much as 5 percent following the announcement to a high of 9.19 euros per share.
"We estimate this transaction to be highly earnings and value accretive," said KBC Securities in a note to clients.
The broker reiterated its "buy" rating and said its 11.50 euros per share target price was under upwards revision.
In February Nyrstar launched a 490 million euro ($708.5 million) rights issue so it could buy in more mines. [ID:nLDE71M0UV] (Editing by Erica Billingham and Mike Nesbit) ($1=.9687 Canadian Dollar=.6916 euros

OSLO, May 27 (Reuters) - Oslo-listed offshore driller Seadrill (SDRL.OL) said it would increase its dividend payments as it saw the booming drilling market increasing further and reported first-quarter earnings in line with expectations.
Seadrill, one of the world's largest deepwater drillers with 56 rigs, said the outlook for high-quality drilling units -- already a flourishing market -- had improved and that the company had "strong earnings visibility".
Quality oil rigs have become more in demand in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon rig accident last year that led to the worst oil spill in U.S. history. High oil prices have also boosted demand.
Shipping magnate John Fredriksen, who controls Seadrill, told Reuters that the outlook for Seadrill was "very good".
"It is going very well with Seadrill. We are very optimistic," Fredriksen said in an interview late on Thursday. "It's a very stable business." [ID:nWEA3485] [ID:nLDE74P2AB]
The firm posted first-quarter earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation of $430 million, compared with $332 million in the same period last year, and roughly in line with the mean forecast of $432 million in a Reuters poll of analysts.

Quality Products Announces Payment of a Special Dividend and Results For the Three and Six Months Ended March 31, 2011
05/11/2011 | 04:05 pm
Quality Products, Inc. (Pink Sheets: QPDC), a manufacturer and distributor of aircraft ground support equipment ("Columbus Jack & Regent Manufacturing") and hydraulic press machine tools ("Multipress"), today announced payment of a special dividend and reported fiscal 2011 second quarter and six months operating results.
SPECIAL DIVIDEND
The Company's board of directors has approved a special one-time dividend of $1.25 per share, or approximately $3,043,000. The special dividend will be payable on July 1, 2011, to shareholders of record on June 17, 2011 and the Company will use up to $3,000,000 of debt to fund this dividend with the remainder provided by existing cash.
QUARTERLY RESULTS
Net income was $1,520,459 compared to $1,444,312 earned last year, an increase of $76,147 or 5.3%. Revenues were $6,058,888 compared to $5,244,273 last year, an increase of $814,615 or 15.5%. The gross margin decreased to 43.1% this year from 48.6% last year. As with most manufacturers, our margins can vary significantly depending on product mix and pricing pressures in the marketplace. Due to these factors, we consider the range of 35 - 40% to be normal for gross margins.
Shipments in the Multipress segment were $821,988 compared to $777,825, an increase of $44,163 or 5.7%, and gross profit was $336,762 or 41.0% compared to $333,380 or 42.9%, an increase of $3,382 or 1.0%. Incoming orders were up by $447,233 or 57.4% compared to last year. Historically, the visibility of future business for this segment has rarely exceeded six months, making it difficult to predict long-term trends.
Shipments in the ground support equipment segment were $5,236,900 compared to $4,466,448 last year, an increase of $770,452 or 17.2%. Gross profit was $2,271,795 or 43.4% compared to $2,213,213 or 49.6% last year, an increase of $58,582 or 2.6%. However, incoming orders decreased by $(1,265,265) or (29.1)% compared to last year. A majority of this segment's business is with the U.S. government, so if defense spending is reduced it is likely this segment will be unfavorably impacted.
S G & A expenses were $883,079 or 14.6% of sales in the current quarter compared to $806,493 or 15.4% last year, an increase of $76,586 or 9.5%. This is primarily due to higher wages and benefits, higher consulting expenses, and higher public company expenses.
Other income in the latest quarter includes $671,000 of royalties for our joint participation in certain military contracts and approximately $33,000 of distributions and realized gains from our investments.
Income tax expense decreased by approximately $(27,000) primarily due to changes in estimates.
Basic and diluted EPS was $0.62, up from $0.42 and the weighted average shares outstanding decreased to 2,468,522 from 3,402,425.
Pacific Northern Gas to pay special dividend of $3 per share, Q1 profit up
By: The Canadian Press
Posted: 05/11/2011 12:51 PM | Comments: 0 | Last Modified: 05/11/2011 1:26 PM
VANCOUVER - Pacific Northern Gas Ltd. (TSX:PNG) will pay a special dividend of $3 per share, the company announced Wednesday as it reported improved quarterly earnings.
The special payment will be in addition to PNG's regular quarterly dividend of 30 cents per share.
PNG shares were up 67 cents or 2.45 per cent at $28 on the Toronto Stock Exchange after the announcement. The stock had been halted briefly at midday.
Pacific Northern Gas said the payment amounted to $11 million of the net remaining proceeds from the $30-million initial payment received from the sale of its 50 per cent stake in Pacific Trail Pipelines Limited Partnership, a proposed liquefied natural gas export terminal near Kitimat, B.C.
The company paid out an earlier special dividend of $3 per share to shareholders on March 24.
PNG also reported Wednesday a first-quarter profit of $26.7 million or $7.11 per diluted share, compared with a profit of $5.4 million or $1.48 per share a year ago. Operating revenue totalled $37.5 million, up from $40.2 million.
Excluding the sale of the interest in Pacific Trail Pipelines, PNG reported a profit of $6 million or $1.57 per diluted share, up from $5.7 million or $1.53 per diluted share a year ago.
In February, PNG signed a deal to sell its 50 per cent interest in Pacific Trail Pipelines Limited Partnership for $50 million to Apache Canada Ltd. and EOG Resources Canada Inc., which are partners with PNG in the KSL Pipeline.
PNG will be paid the outstanding $20 million once the companies begin construction of the Kitimat liquefied natural gas facility.

Epolin, Inc. Announces Special Cash Dividend of $0.12 per Share
NEWARK, NJ--(Marketwire - April 14, 2011) - EPOLIN, INC. (the "Company") (OTCBB: EPLN) (www.epolin.com) today announced that its Board of Directors has declared a special cash dividend of $0.12 per share to be payable on May 12, 2011 to shareholders of record at the close of business on April 28, 2011. The aggregate amount of payment to be made in connection with the special cash dividend will be approximately $1.5 million and will be paid from cash on hand.
The Company noted that in April 2006 the Board adopted a dividend policy under which the Company would issue a regular annual cash dividend along with a special cash dividend from time to time as well. From May 2006 through August 2008, the Company did pay an aggregate of five cash dividends of $0.02 per share each and one cash dividend of $0.04 per share, but has not paid any cash dividends since primarily due to the Company's decision to seek strategic alternatives.
"The decision to pay and the magnitude of this special dividend reflects the Board's belief that the Company's current liquidity position exceeds the immediate and projected needs of the business combined with the fact that we have not paid a dividend since 2008," commented Murray S. Cohen, Ph.D., Chairman of the Board. He added, "While we cannot provide any guidance with respect to when another cash dividend, annual or otherwise, may be paid, our Board remains committed to create value for our shareholders and determined that the payment of this special dividend was the best way to benefit our shareholders as we continue to explore strategic alternatives, including the potential sale of the Company."

NEW YORK, March 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Mangrove Partners, owners of 149,373 shares representing approximately 5.71% of the outstanding shares of CPEX Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: CPEX), today announced that it has sent a term sheet for a fully-financed dividend recapitalization to CPEX's Board of Directors to be implemented through a backstopped rights issue. Mangrove Partners estimates the consideration to shareholders at $34.73 per share, composed of a $28.00 per share special dividend, a tradable right, and ongoing ownership in the stock of CPEX. The financing commitments for the recapitalization are subject to the completion of customary confirmatory due diligence and definitive documentation, a process that Mangrove Partners believes could be completed in as little as two weeks with full cooperation from CPEX. The full letter and term sheet will be filed as exhibits to Mangrove Partners' 13D.
Mangrove Partners intends to vote against the proposed merger between CPEX and FCB I and continues to believe better alternatives are available to shareholders, most notably the fully-financed dividend recapitalization it has today presented to CPEX's Board of Directors.
Mangrove Partners has no current intention of proposing a control transaction for CPEX or of nominating any candidates to CPEX's Board of Directors. While any decision regarding management will be a matter for CPEX's Board of Directors, Mangrove Partners has no current intention of opposing leaving current management in place.

Investors with questions concerning our reasons for voting against the merger should call Steven C. Balet or Geoff Sorbello at Okapi Partners LLC, which is advising Mangrove Partners, toll free at 1-877-285-5990.

I have done extensive research on numerous companies that pay dividends, but i know if everyone here at IHUB posts stocks or mutual funds that pays outrageous dividends, then we can all save tons of time and energy doing it ourselves.
I will post links to all that are worthy here in the IBOX.
thank you in advance to all that participate.
please post the highest % yielding dividend stocks that you can find.
Explanation of Dividend Dates
Ex-dividend: To receive a declared dividend the shares must be purchased before the ex-dividend date. If you buy on or after ex-dividend date you are not entitled to receive the current dividend.
Record date: The record date is the date by which an investor must be registered as a shareholder to be entitled to a dividend.
Payment date: The date of which the dividend is paid out.
You can sell the stock on the ex-dividend date of and still get the dividend but you would not make any money. Every time a dividend is paid, the closing price on the day before the ex-dividend is adjusted downward by the dividend amount.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
(Stock Dividend section)
Sometimes a company pays a dividend in the form of stock rather than cash. The stock dividend may be additional shares in the company or in a subsidiary being spun off. The procedures for stock dividends may be different from cash dividends. The ex-dividend date is set the first business day after the stock dividend is paid (and is also after the record date).
If you sell your stock before the ex-dividend date, you also are selling away your right to the stock dividend. Your sale includes an obligation to deliver any shares acquired as a result of the dividend to the buyer of your shares, since the seller will receive an I.O.U. or "due bill" from his or her broker for the additional shares. Thus, it is important to remember that the day you can sell your shares without being obligated to deliver the additional shares is not the first business day after the record date, but usually is the first business day after the stock dividend is paid,

TAX info
Dividends are taxed either as ordinary income or as qualified dividends. A qualified dividend is a dividend on which the issuing company has already paid tax. The dividend is then taxed again on the shareholder's tax return, but at a lower qualified dividend tax rate. The tax rate on qualified dividends is 5% or 15% (depending on the individual's income tax rate). If the individual has a regular income tax rate of 25% or higher, then the qualified dividend tax rate is 15%. If the individual's income tax rate is less than 25%, then qualified dividends are taxed at the 5% rate.
Ordinary and qualified dividends are reported on Form 1099-DIV. All dividends paid will be reported as ordinary dividends on Form 1099-DIV box 1a. Some or all of these ordinary dividends may be qualified dividends. Qualified dividends are reported on Form 1099-DIV box 1b.
Dividends are reported on Form 1040 Schedule B and Form 1040 lines 9a and 9b
