Delta Brac Housing Finance Corporation has recommended 15 per cent cash and 15 per cent stock dividend for the year ended on December 31, 2020.
The final approval of the dividend will come during the annual general meeting (AGM) scheduled to be held on May 6 at 11:00am through a hybrid system – combination of physical presence and using digital platforms. The value will be notified later on.
The record date is April 13, the company said in a filing with the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) on Tuesday.
The company has reported EPS of Tk 5.78, NAV per share of Tk. 41.72 and NOCFPS of Tk 9.39 for the year ended on December 31, 2020 as against Tk 6.96 (restated), Tk 37.68 (restated) and Tk 12.52 (restated) respectively for the same period of the previous year.
The company has also informed that stock dividend has been recommended in view to utilise its retained amount as paid-up capital for improving the capital adequacy and thereby facilitate future business expansion of the company.
It also said the stock dividend is declared out of accumulated profit and is not declared from capital reserve or revaluation reserve or any unrealised gain or out of profit earned prior to incorporation of the company or through reducing paid up capital or through doing anything so that the post-dividend retained earnings become negative or a debit balance.
