ATLANTA, GA / ACCESSWIRE / April 16, 2014 / Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. (DGRI.OTC) (the "Company") (http://dutchgoldinc.com) today clarified to shareholders its intention to declare a 10% dividend, and reaffirmed its intention to do so.
On January 30, 2014, the Company issued an 8K wherein was quoted, "Over the next three months, management will take active steps to rationalize our capital structure and clean up our balance sheet. We will complete a spin-out of the remaining mining interests and we will aggressively pursue the clean up of our balance sheet. We expect to focus all of our energy on new subsidiaries in a corporate structure that will reward our new operational partners and our current shareholders. In so doing, it is our intention to catch up our filings with the Securities & Exchange Commission as quickly as financing allows. We expect that these tasks will be completed by April 15, at which time the Company will declare a stock dividend of ten percent to shareholders of record as of that date". The Company has not yet brought current its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, although it is in the process of doing so. At such time as this step is completed, the Company reaffirms its intention to declare a dividend.
Under the Company's current business model, we expect to take positions in other companies that we help finance, whether through commercial financing or through our soon to be released crowd-funding platform. When we see potential for growth in these holdings, we intend to spin them out to DGRI via an S-4 or other applicable registration model. Given the Company's current cash constraints, any dividend during 2014, will be in the form of a common or preferred share of DGRI, or a spinout through an S-4.
Said Daniel Hollis, CEO, "We have received numerous inquiries regarding the proposed dividend, wherein shareholders failed to recognize the conditions precedent to the declaration of a dividend. Given the deluge of information about the new direction of the Company, this is understandable. We are committed to building shareholder value, making sure that our legitimate shareholders are rewarded, and making it difficult for others to "short" our stock. The dividend mechanism, as a reflection of our corporate growth helps us accomplish all of the goals".
The Company has come to an agreement with its new auditor, and has received the cooperation of its' prior auditor so that we may file an 8K announcing the new engagement and begin work on the audits by April 18, 2014. The target date for the completion of the audits is now mid June 2014. We are appreciative of the cooperation from our prior firm and look forward to moving briskly with our new auditor.
