DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Royal Gold, Inc. (NASDAQ: RGLD; TSX: RGL) (“Royal Gold” or the
“Company”), today announced that its Board of Directors increased the
Company’s annual dividend for its shares of common stock from $0.88 to
$0.92 per share, payable on a quarterly basis of $0.23 per share. The
newly declared dividend is 5% higher than the dividend paid in calendar
year 2015. Royal Gold has steadily increased its annual dividend every
year since 2001.
The Board declared the dividend of $0.23 per share will be payable on
January 22, 2016, to shareholders of record at the close of business on
January 8, 2016.
Tony Jensen, President and CEO, commented, “For 15 consecutive years,
Royal Gold has increased its annual dividend. Our strong cash flow from
operations has allowed us to balance growth with return of capital at a
time when others are reducing or eliminating dividends. We recently
completed four streaming transactions which we expect to strengthen our
cash flow position even further as these new streams are integrated into
the portfolio.”
