NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
New Senior Investment Group Inc. (“New Senior” or the “Company”) (NYSE:SNR) announced today that the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) declared a cash dividend of $0.26 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The dividend is payable on June 22, 2018 to shareholders of record on June 11, 2018. An important factor in the Board’s decision to maintain the first quarter dividend at this level is the ongoing review of strategic alternatives.
As previously announced on February 23, 2018, the Board, together with the Company’s management team and legal and financial advisors, is exploring a full range of strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value. In connection with the strategic review, the Company has formed a special committee of the Board (the “Special Committee”) composed entirely of independent and disinterested directors. The Special Committee is being advised by independent legal and financial advisors. The Board expects to announce the outcome of the strategic review, including a change to the Company’s dividend policy, in the coming months.
