Oryza Agro recommends 11% cash dividend
AGM is on 1 December, record date 28 September
Oryza Agro Industries Limited, trading on the SME platform of the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) as a low-cap company, recommended an 11% cash dividend in fiscal 2021-22 for its shareholders.
But its sponsors and directors will not take the dividend as the feed manufacturer suffered an operating cash crisis in the last fiscal year, said a source in the company.
According to a stock exchange filing, Oryza Agro will hold its annual general meeting (AGM) on 1 December for shareholder approval of audited financial statements and the recommended dividend.
