Note 11. Shareholders’ Equity

 

Dividends

 

The Company originally authorized the payment of four regular quarterly dividends to holders of ordinary shares at a quarterly rate of $0.125 per share, with the first quarterly dividend being paid on November 1, 2016. The dividends were payable in cash or ordinary shares, at the option of the holders of ordinary shares. On May 11, 2017, the Company announced that commencing with the declared quarterly dividend for the third quarter of 2017 through any future dividends to be declared and paid through the second quarter of 2018, a 12% increase to $0.14 per share.

 

On November 5, 2019, the Company declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.14 per share for the third quarter of 2019, which will be paid on December 20, 2019 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 29, 2019. The dividend will be paid in cash or ordinary shares, to be chosen at the option of holders of ordinary shares during an election period beginning December 2, 2019 and lasting until 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time on December 13, 2019. The value of the ordinary shares to be used to calculate the number of shares to be issued with respect to that portion of the dividend payable in ordinary shares shall be the average of the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares on NASDAQ during the period from December 2, 2019 through December 13, 2019. If no choice is made during this election period, the dividend for this election period will be paid in ordinary shares of the Company.

 

The Company analyzed the accounting guidance under ASC 505 and determined that this guidance is not applicable since the dividend are shares of the same class in which each shareholder is given an election to receive cash or shares. As such, the Company analyzed the dividend under ASC 480 — Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and concluded that the dividend should be accounted for as a liability since the dividend is a fixed monetary amount known at inception. A reclassification from dividend payable to additional paid-in capital was done for the stock dividend elections.

 

As a result, the Company issued 1,875,053 shares for the share dividends resulting in $14,169 being credited to Capital and paid $2,170 in cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

 

Dividend declarations and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to the Board of Directors’ continuing determination that the dividend policy is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The dividend policy may be changed or cancelled at the discretion of the Board of Directors at any time.

 

Follow-on Equity Offering

 

On March 25, 2019, the Company closed an underwritten follow-on public offering of 5,000,000 ordinary shares at a price to the public of $7.00 per share. As a result of this offering, the Company received a net amount of $33,050 after deducting underwriting and other related fees, which were credited to share capital and additional paid in capital. Additionally, the Company granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 750,000 ordinary shares at the public offering price, less the underwriting discount, which option was exercised on April 3, 2019 with respect to 551,423 ordinary shares.
