Common Stock Market Prices & Dividends
Subject to our ongoing ability to generate sufficient
income through operations, to any future capital needs, and
to other contingencies, we expect to continue our policy of
paying dividends. Our articles of incorporation provide that
no cash dividends may be paid on our Class A Common
Stock unless equal or higher dividends are paid on the
Common Stock. Under our revolving credit agreement,
we may pay cash dividends in any fiscal year only if the
dividends do not exceed 50% of our consolidated net
earnings for the prior fiscal year plus the excess, if any,
of the cash dividend limitation applicable to the prior year
over the dividend actually paid in the prior year.
