Item 8.01    Other Events

 

On January 25, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a special, one-time cash dividend of $0.70 per share on its outstanding common stock, payable on February 24, 2017 to shareholders of record as of February 10, 2017.

 

The Board has also initiated a strategic review of the Company’s businesses and assets to explore opportunities for enhancing value for our loyal shareholders. A Special Committee consisting of Board Chairman Mark Sheffert, Vice Chairman Terry Bunge and director Hank Struik will oversee this process. The Special Committee has retained Minneapolis-based investment banking firm Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC, to advise it in this process. We expect this to be a thorough process and we will report its findings and conclusions at the completion of the review. We will consider all reasonable options but cannot guarantee that any actions will be taken as a direct result of this review.

 

A copy of the Company’s press release announcing the dividend and the Special Committee retention of an advisor is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
