REGINA, Saskatchewan, Sept. 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Information Services Corporation (TSX:ISV) (“ISC” or the “Company”) today announced that it has approved an increase in the expected annual dividend of its Class A Limited Voting Share ("Class A Share") from $0.80 to $0.92.
The new annual dividend of $0.92 per Class A Share (declared and paid quarterly) is expected to commence when the Board next meets to consider its quarterly declaration for the third quarter of 2021 and is anticipated to remain at that amount until otherwise determined by the Board.
The decision to increase the dividend reflects the strength of the Company’s current business and affirms the Company’s commitment to continue to reward shareholders as it grows.
The declaration, amount and payment date of any future dividends by ISC is at the discretion of the Board and will depend on numerous factors, including the financial performance, debt obligations, working capital requirements and future capital requirements of the Company and its subsidiaries. The increased dividend amount will not impact ISC’s previously announced $0.20 per share dividend which was declared on August 4, 2021 and is payable on or before October 15, 2021 to shareholders of record as at September 30, 2021.
