Dividend Reinvestment Program (DRIP)

A Dividend Reinvestment Program (DRIP) is a government approved securities program providing stockholders of a company the ability to reinvest cash dividends directly into the common stock of the company. A DRIP also allows stockholders the ability to make quarterly cash contributions (up to $2,000) into their individual DRIP account for the purchase of additional shares of common stock. Our profitability has increased year-over-year and the Board wants to ensure a program exists for stockholders as cash dividends are declared.
