Tecnoglass Announces All-Cash Quarterly Dividend

- Declares Cash Dividend of $0.0275 Per Share for the First Quarter 2020 -

- Simplifies Capital Structure Through Discontinuation of Stock Dividends -

Barranquilla, Colombia, March 02, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tecnoglass, Inc. (NASDAQ: TGLS) ("Tecnoglass" or the "Company"), a leading manufacturer of architectural glass, windows, and associated aluminum products for the global commercial and residential construction industries, today announced the simplification and realignment of its capital structure with a focus on continued growth. The Company has amended its dividend policy to pay a quarterly cash dividend, and to discontinue the option to receive dividends in stock. This simplified dividend methodology allows for the continued return of a portion of capital to shareholders while eliminating the dilutive impact of stock dividends to existing shares.

The Company’s Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.0275 per share, or $0.11 per share on an annualized basis, for the first quarter of 2020. The quarterly dividend will be paid on April 30, 2020 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 31, 2020. The annualized dividend approximates the aggregate value of dividends that the Company’s shareholders chose to receive in cash during the preceding four quarterly dividend payments. The implied cash dividend yield is consistent with the average of the Company’s dividend-paying peers, based on its trailing six-month average stock price.

José Manuel Daes commented, “As a growth-focused company, we are excited with the success of our high-return investments as we continue to rapidly scale our business and gain market share. After a long review process, we are confident that our amended dividend policy better aligns with the interests of shareholders. We are committed to returning a portion of capital to shareholders while delivering strong returns on identified growth initiatives and accretive investments to drive improved profitability and cash flow.”
