(NASDAQ: GROW) today announced that its shareholders have approved the second proposed amendment to its Articles of Incorporation, which modifies the relative dividend and liquidation preference rights of the different classes of common stock and permits conversion of Class C Common Stock to Class A Common Stock announced on November 8, 2006. As a result of the approval of both proposals contained in the definitive proxy statement, shareholders of record on March 19, 2007, will receive a special cash dividend of $0.25 per share based on the number of post-split shares held, which will be paid on March 29, 2007. "We thank our shareholders for their loyalty and support with this massive undertaking to reach and educate our shareholders," said Frank Holmes, CEO and chief investment officer at U.S. Global Investors. "We were persistent in this effort, and going forward, we will be equally persistent and determined in building our company." In addition to the dividend, anyone who holds shares at the end of the business day on March 19, 2007, will also receive one additional share of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.025 per share, for every outstanding share of Class A Common Stock and one additional share of Class C Common Stock, par value $0.025 per share, for every outstanding share of Class C Common Stock held on March 19, 2007, as announced yesterday. The additional shares resulting from the stock split and the cash dividend are expected to be distributed by the company's transfer agent, Bank of New York, on March 29, 2007.
