KELOWNA, BC, Feb. 15, 2023 /CNW/ - Decisive Dividend Corporation (TSXV: DE) (the "Corporation") announced today that, in accordance with its current monthly dividend policy, the directors of the Corporation have declared a dividend of $0.03 per common share of Decisive ("Common Share") for the month of March 2023. The dividend is payable on March 15, 2023, to the shareholders of record at the close of business on February 28, 2023. This dividend is designated as an "eligible" dividend under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and any corresponding provincial legislation.
Eligible shareholders have the opportunity to reinvest dividends in accordance with the Corporation's dividend reinvestment and cash purchase plan (the "DRIP"). Additional details are available under the investors section of the Corporation's website www.decisivedividend.com.
The Corporation also announced that it has received approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") to renew its normal course issuer bid ("NCIB"). Under the renewed NCIB, Decisive may purchase up to an aggregate of 746,800 Common Shares, representing five percent (5%) of the 14,937,307 issued and outstanding Common Shares.
Purchases of Common Shares under the NCIB may be made during the period commencing on February 16, 2023, and ending on February 15, 2024, or an earlier date in the event that the Corporation purchases the maximum number of the Common Shares available under the NCIB. Decisive reserves the right to terminate the NCIB at any time. Common Shares may be purchased through the facilities of the TSXV or such other permitted means (including through alternative trading systems in Canada) at prevailing market prices. All Common Shares acquired directly by the Corporation under the NCIB will be cancelled.
Decisive sought renewal of its NCIB because it believes that, from time to time, the market price of the Common Shares may not fully reflect the fair value of the Common Shares. Decisive believes that, in such circumstances, the purchase of Common Shares represents an attractive use of its cash resources, from which Decisive intends to fund purchases under the NCIB. Decisive will continue to utilize BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. as the broker through which the NCIB will be conducted. Under its previous NCIB, that commenced on February 1, 2022, and expired on January 31, 2023, Decisive purchased and cancelled 10,795 Common Shares at a weighted average price of $4.30 per Common Share.
