Tetragon Financial Group Limited is een Amerikaanse beleggingsmaatschappij en is sinds 2007 genoteerd aan de Amsterdamse beurs. Het bedrijf investeert met name in CLO's (collateral loan obligations = pakketten middelgrote en grote bedrijfsleningen)
Tetragon biedt aandeelhouders met ingang van 2018 toekomstig dividend in de vorm van een kwartaal keuzedividend aan. Tetragon streeft voor aandeelhouders een financiële rendabiliteit RoE van 10-15% per jaar na. Tetragon verwacht dat de hoogte van het LIBOR (gemiddelde interbancaire rente tarief) bepalend is voor de resultaten. Bij een hoge LIBOR past een hoger rendement dan bij een lage LIBOR.
Tetragon seeks to return value to its shareholders, including through dividends and share repurchases. Tetragon’s Board of Directors has the authority to declare dividend payments, based upon the recommendation of Tetragon’s investment manager, subject to the approval of Tetragon’s voting shareholder and adherence to applicable law, including the satisfaction of a solvency test as required pursuant to the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008, as amended. In addition to making dividend recommendations to the Board of Directors, Tetragon’s investment manager may authorise share repurchases. Decisions with respect to declaration of dividends and share repurchases may be informed by a variety of considerations, including (i) the expected sustainability of the company’s cash generation capacity in the short and medium term, (ii) the current and anticipated performance of the company, (iii) the current and anticipated operating and economic environment, (iv) other potential uses of cash ranging from preservation of the company’s investments and financial position to other investment opportunities and (v) Tetragon’s share price.
Tetragon may also pay scrip dividends, which payments are currently conducted through an optional dividend reinvestment program.
