Novato, CA - Hennessy Advisors, Inc. (OTCBB:HNNA ) The Board of Directors of Hennessy Advisors, Inc. today declared an increase in the annual cash dividend from 9 cents per share to 10 cents per share for 2011 and also declared that the dividend will be paid in quarterly installments rather than annually.
