NEW YORK, Feb. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clear Secure, Inc. (NYSE: YOU) ("CLEAR" or the "Company") today announced that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) declared a quarterly dividend of $0.125 per share, and a special cash dividend of $0.27 per share, each payable on March 18, 2025 to holders of record of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock as of the close of business on March 10, 2025.

The timing and actual number of shares repurchased pursuant the Company’s repurchase program will be determined by management depending on a variety of factors, including stock price, trading volume, market conditions, and other general business considerations.
