The amount consists of a regular quarterly dividend of 45 cents per share and a supplemental cash dividend of 15 cents. The regular quarterly dividend of 45 cents indicates an increase of 3 cents or 7.1% from the prior quarter.
The dividend will be paid out on Oct 14 to shareholders of record as of Sep 30, 2022.
