The Board of Directors of Sitnasuak Native Corporation (SNC) are pleased to announce a special Elders dividend of $500 and regular shareholder dividend of $6.00 per share (or $600.00 for those with 100 shares) to all shareholders of record as of December 7, 2016. Shareholders who are 65 or older as of December 7, 2016, will receive a special Elders dividend of $500. Distribution will begin on December 13, 2016.
“The Sitnasuak Board of Directors and Management declared both the special Elder dividend and shareholder dividend based upon the achievements of our businesses over the past year. The dividends recognize the important commitment to benefit our shareholders while ensuring the financial stability of the corporation.

We wish everyone and their families the best during this holiday season.”
The corporation dividend amount is based on a review of SNC’s dividend policy and both historical and projected financial performance. This is the fifth year that SNC has distributed an extra benefit to our Elders. Other shareholder benefits include camp and home sites, bereavement assistance and scholarships.
