ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND
ISSUER REPURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Price Range of Common Stock
Our common stock is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol “PLT”. The following
table sets forth the low and high sales prices as reported on the NYSE for each period indicated:
Low High
Fiscal Year 2015
First Quarter $ 41.57 $ 47.88
Second Quarter $ 46.12 $ 51.00
Third Quarter $ 43.27 $ 53.84
Fourth Quarter $ 45.83 $ 55.45
Fiscal Year 2014
First Quarter $ 41.52 $ 47.00
Second Quarter $ 42.94 $ 48.03
Third Quarter $ 42.09 $ 49.56
Fourth Quarter $ 41.41 $ 46.48
As of April 24, 2015, there were approximately 44 holders of record of our common stock. Because many of our shares of common
stock are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of beneficial owners, we are unable to estimate the total number of
beneficial owners, but we believe it is significantly higher than the number of record holders. On March 27, 2015, the last trading
day of fiscal year 2015, the last sale reported on the NYSE for our common stock was $53.95 per share.
Cash Dividends
Quarterly dividends paid per share in fiscal years 2015 and 2014 were $0.15 and $0.10, respectively, resulting in total payments
of $25.7 million and $17.4 million, respectively. On April 27, 2015, the Audit Committee approved the payment of a dividend of
$0.15 per share on June 10, 2015 to holders of record on May 20, 2015. We expect to continue paying a quarterly dividend of
$0.15 per share of our common stock; however, the actual declaration of dividends and the establishment of record and payment
dates are subject to final determination by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors each quarter after its review of our
financial performance and financial position.
