Tortola, British Virgin Islands--(Newsfile Corp. - February 25, 2025) - Sailfish Royalty Corp. (TSXV: FISH) (OTCQX: SROYF) (the "Company" or "Sailfish") is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has declared the Company's first quarterly cash dividend for 2025 in the amount of US$0.0125 per common share that will be payable on April 15, 2025 to Sailfish shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 31, 2025.
The declaration, timing, amount, and payment of future dividends will be subject to the discretion and approval of the Board of Directors. The Company will review the dividend policy on an ongoing basis and may amend it at any time depending on the Company's then current financial position, capital allocation framework, profitability, cash flow, legal requirements and other factors considered relevant. As such, no assurances can be made that any future dividends will be declared and/or paid. Dividend payments may be subject to withholding taxes.
The Company is also pleased to announce that it has implemented a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the "DRIP").
The DRIP will provide Canadian and Non-US Sailfish shareholders with the opportunity to have the cash dividends declared on all or some of their common shares automatically reinvested into additional common shares of the Company (the "Reinvestment Shares") on an ongoing basis. Participation in the DRIP is optional and will not affect shareholders' cash dividends unless they elect to participate in the DRIP. Dividends are only payable as and when declared by the Company's Board of Directors. The total number of shares currently reserved under the DRIP for issuance is 7,093,396, being 10% of Sailfish's current issued and outstanding share capital.
Participants in the DRIP will acquire Reinvestment Shares issued from the Company's treasury (a "Treasury Purchase") at a price equal to the volume weighted average price of the Company's common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange for the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately preceding a dividend payment date (the "Average Market Price").
To participate in the DRIP, registered shareholders must deliver a properly completed enrollment form to Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the "Agent") by no later than 4:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on the fifth business day before a dividend record date. Beneficial shareholders who wish to participate in the DRIP should contact their financial advisor, broker, investment dealer, bank, financial institution or other intermediary through which they hold common shares to inquire about the applicable requirements, enrolment deadline and to request enrolment in the DRIP. The Company will be responsible for the administrative costs of the DRIP, including the fees or other expenses of the Agent payable in connection with the acquisition of Reinvestment Shares under the DRIP. Beneficial shareholders who wish to participate in the DRIP through their financial advisor, broker, investment dealer, bank, financial institution or other intermediary should consult that intermediary to confirm what fees, if any, the nominee may charge to enroll in the DRIP on their behalf or whether the nominee's policies might result in any costs otherwise becoming payable by the beneficial shareholder.
Participation in the DRIP does not relieve shareholders of any liability for taxes that may be payable in respect of dividends that are reinvested in Reinvestment Shares. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors concerning the tax implications of their participation in the DRIP having regard to their particular circumstances.
Certain insiders of Sailfish are expected to participate in the DRIP; however, the specific amount is unknown at this time.
