Builder to issue stock dividends

Century Properties Group Inc. (CPG) recently disclosed plans for the implementation and issuance of stock dividends amounting to two billion shares from its proposed application of an increase in its capital stock subject to shareholders’ approval during its annual stockholders meeting on July 23.

In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, the company said its board of directors reaffirms the resolutions on the stock dividends that were passed in 2013 wherein two billion shares out of the intended eight billion shares increase in capital stock, which represent the minimum 25 percent subscribed and paid-up capital will be applied as stock dividends.

This is pursuant to Section 38 of the Corporation Code of the Philippines.

The current authorized capital stock of CPG is 10 billion shares with 9,685,287,027 issued shares.

Pro forma for the increase in capital stock, 18 billion shares will be its authorized capital stock, with two billion  shares issued by way of subscription via stock dividends.

The company’s issuance of stock dividends is non-dilutive. While there is an increase in authorized capital stock, the two billion shares will be proportionately distributed to each of the stockholders of 9,685,287,027 shares of stock.

The board of directors delegated to the chief financial officer the decision to determine the record date and payment date for the stock dividends.

Century Properties planned the issuance of stock dividends in addition to its regular dividends as a gesture of thanking its shareholders for the support it has given the company in the last two years.

The company has seen its revenues grow to P10.8 billion as of year end 2013, which represents a compounded annual rate of 52 percent from 2011.

Profit grew to P1.84 billion as of year end 2013, which represents a compounded annual rate of 46 percent from 2011.
