dividends Explanation: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/agm.asp At an AGM, the directors of the company present an annual report containing information for shareholders about the company's performance and strategy. Shareholders with voting rights vote on current issues, such as appointments to the company's board of directors, executive compensation, dividend payments and selection of auditors. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dividend A dividend is a payment made by a corporation to its shareholders, usually as a distribution of profits.[1] When a corporation earns a profit or surplus, the corporation is able to re-invest the profit in the business (called retained earnings) and pay a proportion of the profit as a dividend to shareholders. Distribution to shareholders may be in cash (usually a deposit into a bank account) or, if the corporation has a dividend reinvestment plan, the amount can be paid by the issue of further shares or share repurchase. When dividends are paid, shareholders typically must pay income taxes, and the corporation does not receive a corporate income tax deduction for the dividend payments.[2] -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 minutos (2019-06-04 20:36:09 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It should say dividend, in singular. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 minutos (2019-06-04 20:38:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/dividend.asp What is a Dividend? A dividend is the distribution of reward from a portion of company's earnings and is paid to a class of its shareholders. Dividends are decided and managed by the company’s board of directors, though they must be approved by the shareholders through their voting rights. Dividends can be issued as cash payments, as shares of stock, or other property, though cash dividends are the most common. Along with companies, various mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETF) also pay dividends. |
