Key Features of Corporate Dividends
Slide 1 of 3
A dividend is a distribution of a corporation’s profits to its shareholders.
Dividends may be in the form of cash, property, or shares of the corporation.
Generally, a corporation must be solvent to distribute a dividend, meaning it is able to pay its debts as they come due.
Most state statutes regulate the funds from which dividends may be paid.
