Opera Declares Upcoming Cash Dividend of $0.40 per ADS Under its Recurring Dividend Program
OSLO, Norway, June 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Opera Limited (NASDAQ: OPRA) (“Opera”), one of the world’s major browser developers and a leading internet consumer brand, today announced that its Board of Directors has declared its upcoming semi-annual cash dividend for holders of Opera’s ordinary shares as well as American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each representing two ordinary shares.
Opera’s next semi-annual dividend under its recurring dividend program will be $0.40 per ADS. Payment will be made to shareholders of record as of the close of business on July 2, 2024 (the “Record Date”). Dividends to be paid to the holders of ADSs through the depositary bank, The Bank of New York Mellon, will be subject to the terms of the deposit agreement. The Company expects the depositary bank to distribute dividends on or about July 15, 2024.
The aggregate amount of the dividend is approximately $35.4 million, based on a total of 88.5 million ADS equivalents outstanding. Opera’s cash expense will be approximately $27.6 million. The remaining $7.8 million will be offset against Opera’s remaining receivable from our majority shareholder, Kunlun Tech Limited (“Kunlun”) in connection with the 2022 sale of Opera’s stake in Star Group Interactive Inc.
