Subsequent Events On March 24, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.38 per share payable on April 30, 2015 to shareholders of record on April 16, 2015.

WD-40 Company) and alleged that the Company had intentionally recorded his phone call to the Company’s toll free number without his consent in violation of the California Penal Code Section 632.7. Upon entry of the dismissal by the Superior Court, this proceeding will be terminated. See Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies for additional information on this claim.
