Strides Arcolab Limited's Dividend Pay-Out Decision
內容大綱
Arun Kumar, founder and group chief executive officer of Strides Arcolab Limited - a first generation, Indian pharmaceutical company headquartered in Bengaluru - is preparing for a crucial meeting of the Board of Directors. The meeting was called to discuss the proposed dividend payout to the company's shareholders following the completion of a US$1.725 billion sale of its specialty division - Agila Specialties - to the U.S.-based pharmaceutical company Mylan Inc. Kumar proposed that Strides distribute all the free cash available from the sale - after the retirement of debt and internal payouts - in the form of dividends to its shareholders. Strides had already communicated its decision to retire debts and reduce its leverage.
