HOUSTON, Oct. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Luby's, Inc.
(NYSE: LUB) ("Luby's"), which is in the process of monetizing its
assets for the benefit of its shareholders, announced today that
the Company's Board of Directors has declared a cash liquidating
distribution of $2.00 per share to be
paid on November 1, 2021 to
shareholders of record as of October
25, 2021. The liquidating distribution is being paid
from the net proceeds from recent property sales.
Investors should note that the ex-dividend date is set by the
New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Under the rules of the
NYSE, when a distribution is declared in a per share amount that
exceeds 25% of a company's stock price, the date on which that
company's shares will begin to trade without the dividend, or
ex-dividend, is the first business day following the payment
date. Accordingly, the NYSE has informed the Company that it
has set an ex-dividend date for the cash liquidating distribution
of November 2, 2021.
Consequently, if a shareholder as of the record date sells shares
at any time prior to the ex-dividend date of November 2, 2021, they will not receive the cash
liquidating distribution with respect to the shares sold.
