Regulation FD
Disclosure
On April
28, 2008, Collectors Universe, Inc. issued a press release announcing that,
pursuant to its previously adopted dividend policy, the Board of Directors has
declared the Company’s quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per share of common
stock for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. The cash dividend will be paid on
June 2, 2008 to stockholders of record on May 19, 2008.
As stated
in the press release, the declaration of future cash dividends, pursuant to the
Company’s dividend policy, is subject to final determination each quarter by the
Board of Directors based on a number of factors, including the Company's
financial performance and its available cash resources, its cash requirements
and alternative uses of cash that the Board may conclude would represent an
opportunity to generate a greater return on investment for the Company. For
these reasons, as well as others, there can be no assurance that dividends in
the future will be equal or similar in amount to the amounts described in this
press release or that the Board of Directors will not decide to suspend or
discontinue the payment of cash dividends in the future.
In
accordance with General Instruction B. 2 of Form 8-K, the information in this
Current Report, including Exhibit 99.1 hereto, is being furnished and shall not
be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor
shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
