Shares of Nathan's Famous Inc. (NATH) surged in extended-hours trading on Tuesday, following the announcement that its board of directors has authorized and declared a special cash dividend of $25.00 on each outstanding share of common stock and unvested restricted common stock, payable March 27, 2015, to shareholders of record as of March 20, 2015
Pursuant to NASDAQ rules, when a dividend is declared in a per share amount that exceeds 25% of a company's stock price, the date on which that company's shares will begin to trade without the dividend, or ex-dividend, is the first business day following the payable date.
NATH expects, in accordance with this rule, that the ex-dividend date as set by NASDAQ will be March 30, 2015, the first business day following the payable date for the dividend. NATH stockholders of record on the record date who sell their shares prior to the ex-dividend date will not receive the special cash dividend.
NATH urges stockholders to consult their tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax consequences to them, in light of their particular investment or tax circumstances, of acquiring, holding and disposing of NATH common stock.
NATH operates in the foodservice industry and currently distributes its products in 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, the Cayman Islands and ten foreign countries through its restaurant system, foodservice sales programs and product licensing activities.
