December 07 2018 - 4:05PM
Business Wire
Retail Value Inc. (NYSE: RVI) declared a common stock dividend
of $1.30 per share (approximately $24.0 million in the aggregate)
on account of annual taxable income generated in Puerto Rico. The
dividend is payable on January 25, 2019 to shareholders of record
at the close of business on December 17, 2018 and will be subject
to a 10% withholding tax.
In order to retain capital given the expected pace of spending
on repair of hurricane damages in Puerto Rico assets, the Company
has elected to pay the dividend in a combination of cash and common
shares with the cash component not to exceed 20% of the aggregate
dividend.
In accordance with Internal Revenue Service guidance,
shareholders may make an election to receive their dividend in all
cash or all common shares. Shareholders who do not make an election
will be deemed to have elected to receive their dividend in all
cash. However, to the extent more than 20% cash is elected by all
shareholders in the aggregate, then the cash portion will be
prorated. The value of the shares distributed in the dividend will
be based upon the volume weighted average trading prices of the
Company's common stock on January 16, January 17 and January 18,
2019. Fractional shares of common stock will not be issued;
stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional
shares will receive a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares.
Election forms are expected to commence mailing on December 26,
2018, and must be received by the Company's transfer agent,
Computershare Shareholder Services, by 5:00 p.m. EDT on January 15,
2019.
If you have any questions regarding the election form or the
election deadline, please call Georgeson Inc., our Information
Agent for the election, toll free at 866-695-6078. If your shares
are held through a bank, broker or nominee, and you have questions
regarding the dividend election, please contact such bank, broker
or nominee, who will also be responsible for distributing the
election form to you and submitting the completed election form on
your behalf.
