	Fastenal began paying an annual dividend in 1991, expanded to a semi-annual dividend in 2003, and then switched to a quarterly dividend in 2011. In 2012, we have previously paid two dividends ($0.17 in February and $0.17 in May).&#160;Our Board of Directors intends to continue paying quarterly dividends, provided that any future determination as to payment of dividends will depend upon the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and such other factors as are deemed relevant by the Board of Directors.</p><p>
	Dividend and stock repurchase activity in the last ten years are as follows:</p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="6" style=" border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 6px ">
