CBL Properties Declares Special Common Stock Dividend of $2.20 Per Common Share, Payable All in Cash
CBL Properties (NYSE:CBL) today announced that its Board of Directors has declared a special dividend of $2.20 per share of common stock, payable all in cash. The Special Dividend is payable on January 18, 2023, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 12, 2022. The special dividend equates to an aggregate cash amount of approximately $70.0 million.
“We are pleased to further demonstrate our commitment to creating and returning stockholder value through this special all cash dividend,” said Stephen D. Lebovitz, chief executive officer of CBL Properties. “Through regular and special dividends, CBL will have distributed $2.95 per share for 2022, representing a yield of more than 10.1% to stockholders relative to today’s closing price, demonstrating meaningful return of value.”
Lebovitz added, “Management and the Board carefully considered CBL’s strong performance to-date in 2022, stable and flexible balance sheet, significant generation of free cash flow and current cash balance, in determining to pay the special dividend in all cash.”
In order to ensure that the Company maintains its status as a real estate investment trust, the Company must distribute at least 90% of its “real estate investment trust taxable income” each year. A special dividend is being made to meet this minimum distribution requirement.
