Aberdeen International Inc. to Make Payment of Semi-Annual Dividend
![Aberdeen International Inc. to Make Payment of Semi-Annual Dividend](https://www.minenportal.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
It is anticipated that the payment date for the second semi-annual dividend of $0.01 will be made on September 30, 2012, to be determined in accordance with the policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The Company's opinion is that the dividend policy sends a message to the market that Aberdeen's business model is sustainable and generates significant free cash flow. Our first and most important priority will be to continue making great investments in early-stage resource companies, while returning a relatively small amount of capital to our shareholders. The Company believes this will simultaneously enhance shareholder value, while providing the Company with the flexibility and liquidity to pursue its corporate objectives.
