On December 7, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the initiation of a dividend policy providing for the payment of a semi-annual dividend of $0.05 per common share ($0.10 per common share annually) commencing in 2017.  The Company anticipates paying the semi-annual dividends in March and September of each year.  It is anticipated that the semi-annual dividend will continue to be paid through March 2020 (the expiration of the Company's Remote Power Patent) provided that the Company continues to receive royalties from licensees of its Remote Power Patent.  On February 2, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company declared an initial semi-annual cash dividend of $0.05 per common share with a payment date of March 24, 2017 to all common stockholders of record as of March 3, 2017. On July 25, 2017, the Board of Directors declared a semi-annual cash dividend of $0.05 per share with a payment date of September 20, 2017 to all common stockholders of record as of September 1, 2017.  However, if the Company is unable to overturn the jury verdict in its litigation with Hewlett-Packard (see Note I[1] hereof), or there is not an arbitration ruling that the HP Jury Verdict finding of non-infringement does not apply to certain licensees of the Remote Power Patent, the Board of Directors may decide to modify or discontinue annual cash dividends of an aggregate of $0.10 per common share.
