Feb. 20, 2014
the Board of Directors of The Coca-Cola Company approved the Company's 52nd
consecutive annual dividend increase, raising the quarterly dividend 9 percent
from 28 cents to 30.5 cents per common share.
This is equivalent to an annual dividend of $1.22 per share, up from
$1.12 per share in 2013. The first
quarterly dividend is payable April 1, 2014, to shareowners of record as of
March 14, 2014.
The increase
reflects the Board's confidence in the Company's long-term cash flow. The
Coca-Cola Company returned $9.8 billion to shareowners in 2013, through $5.0
billion in dividends and $4.8 billion in gross share repurchases, bringing to
$34.7 billion the amount returned to shareowners through dividends and share
repurchases since Jan. 1, 2010.
Since I own 150
shares, this will increase my yearly income by $15.00.
