On July 20, 2016, the Board of Directors declared a regular cash dividend of $0.15 per Class A and Common share in respect of the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The dividend is payable on September 15, 2016 to shareholders of record on August 31, 2016.

On July 20, 2016, the Board of Directors approved the termination of the U.S. Pension Plan, in which all benefit accruals were previously frozen as of June 1, 2009. Based on the Plan’s current funded status and the frozen benefit, it was determined that the on-going costs of maintaining the Plan were growing at a greater rate than the benefit delivered to the Company’s employees and former employees. An application will be filed with the IRS for an advance determination as to whether the Plan meets the qualification requirements of Internal Revenue Code section 401(a). Upon approval of the IRS and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, the assets of the Plan will be distributed either via a lump sum payment to each deferred vested participant or to another qualified retirement plan established on the participant's behalf, or via an annuity contract underwritten by an insurance company. All participants currently receiving a periodic benefit will continue to receive their benefit payments without disruption. The Company expects that the process for terminating the pension plan, which involves several regulatory steps and approvals, will take 18-24 months.
