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.
