TAL International dividend cut Q3

TAL’s Board of Directors has approved and declared a $0.45 per share quarterly cash dividend on its issued and outstanding common stock, payable on December 23, 2015 to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 2, 2015. 

Mr. Sondey commented, “TAL has decided to reduce our dividend to $0.45 per share this quarter, or to $1.80 per share on an annual basis. This represents a reduction of 37.5% from our previous dividend level. We believe the new dividend level is better aligned to the difficult current conditions in our market, and we are confident that our revised dividend level will be sustainable beyond our long-term forecasting horizon.”
