JEMTEC Declares a One-Time Special Dividend

TSX-V: JTC

VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 22, 2020 /CNW/ - JEMTEC Inc. (TSXV: JTC) ("JEMTEC" or the "Company") announces that the board of directors has declared the payment of a one time cash dividend of $0.25 per common share (the "Special Dividend"). The Special Dividend will be payable to shareholders of record as of the close of business on January 6, 2021 (the "Special Dividend Record Date"). The Special Dividend will result in a distribution of approximately $693,670 of the Company's cash.

The Special Dividend is payable on February 10, 2021 (the "Special Dividend Payment Date") to shareholders of record on the Special Dividend Record Date. JEMTEC's common shares will trade ex-dividend commencing on January 5, 2021 until the close of trading on the Special Dividend Payment Date. Persons who purchase JEMTEC common shares before January 5, 2021 will be entitled to the Special Dividend. Purchasers on or after January 5, 2021 will not be entitled to the Special Dividend.

Shareholders do not need to take any further action. JEMTEC will send to registered shareholders a cheque representing the Special Dividend and beneficial shareholders will have their brokerage accounts automatically updated to reflect the Special Dividend.

The Company has decided to pay a Special Dividend at this time after considering a number of factors including:

  • The directors feel that a portion of the Company's cash reserves should be returned to the Company's shareholders as these funds are not needed to execute the Company's business plans.
  • The Company's directors believe the Company's share price is undervalued and it is hoped that a special dividend will help increase investor returns.
  • Even after payment of the Special Dividend, the Company will have cash reserves of approximately $1.45 million which will allow it to continue to pursue acquisitions and expand its existing operations.
  • The Company's electronic monitoring business will continue to operate which will provide cash flow for ongoing operations.
  • There are currently no plans for future dividends. The Board of Directors continues to review its long-term cash requirements in view of its investment strategies and its capital needs from time to time.
