On February 3, 2014, the Legacy Dawson Board approved the commencement of the payment of an $0.08 per share quarterly cash dividend to shareholders, subject to capital availability and a determination that cash dividends continue to be in the best interest of Legacy Dawson. Quarterly dividends were paid on February 24, 2014, May 30, 2014, August 29, 2014 and December 8, 2014 to Legacy Dawson’s shareholders of record at the close of business on February 14, 2014, May 16, 2014, August 15, 2014 and November 24, 2014, respectively, representing an aggregate dividend of approximately $645,000 based on the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the declaration date, or approximately $2,580,000 on an annualized basis.

 

Following the Merger, the combined Company’s Board of Directors, after consideration of general economic and market conditions affecting the energy industry in general, and the oilfield services business in particular, has determined that the Company will not pay a dividend in respect of the quarters ended December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015 or for the foreseeable future. Payment of any dividends in the future will be at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and will depend on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, capital and legal requirements, and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors.
