Smith-Midland Corporation Declares Special Dividend

The Smith-Midland Corporation (OTCQX: SMID) announced that the Board of Directors declared a special dividend of $0.01 per share to be paid on January 13, 2017 to shareholders of record as of December 30, 2016.

Smith-Midland plans to preserve the majority of its cash balances in anticipation of capital purchases over the next 12 to 18 months.

Smith-Midland develops, manufactures, licenses, rents, and sells a broad array of precast concrete products for use primarily in the construction, transportation and utilities industries.
