Special dividend
The Board of Judges Scientific today announces that in order to prioritise the interests of its shareholders it has decided to pay a special dividend of GBP2.00 per ordinary share, totalling GBP12.4 million.
The Board has assessed the Group's cash resources, its robust cash generation and the Group's ability to borrow for acquisitions, which result from a sustained period of strong performance. The special dividend will absorb a modest proportion of the resources available to conduct acquisitions and the Board is therefore confident that this special dividend will not interfere with the execution of Judges' unchanged buy-and-build strategy.
Payment of the special dividend will be on Tuesday 10 December 2019 to shareholders on the register on Friday 29 November 2019. The shares will go ex-dividend on Thursday 28 November 2019. The special dividend will be funded from existing cash balances.
Alex Hambro, Chairman of Judges Scientific, commented:
"The payment of this special dividend is a reflection of our constant focus on shareholders' interests. Following this payment, the Group will have returned to shareholders four and a half times the IPO price."
