Decisive Dividend Corporation Announces Monthly Dividend Increase and April 2023 Dividend

KELOWNA, BC, March 15, 2023 /CNW/ - Decisive Dividend Corporation (TSXV: DE) (the "Corporation" or "Decisive") is pleased to announce an increase in its monthly dividend to $0.035 per common share effective April 2023. The increased monthly dividend represents annualized dividends of $0.42 per common share, up 17% from the previous level set at $0.36 per common share on an annualized basis. This increase reflects the Corporation's 2022 operating performance and is consistent with Decisive's objective of providing shareholders with long-term, sustainable, and growing dividends.

Jeff Schellenberg, Chief Executive Officer of Decisive, noted:

"We are very pleased that we are in a position to increase the monthly dividend beyond the pre-pandemic level of $0.03 per share per month which was set in April 2022. Our ability to do so is premised on the growth in our cash flows resulting from the two acquisitions completed in 2022, the strength of our 2022 operating results as well as the current backlog of demand across our seven portfolio businesses. 2022 was a tremendous year in terms of growth and operating performance for Decisive and we believe the increase in the monthly dividend to $0.035 per common share reflects our commitment to provide sustainable and growing dividends to our shareholders."   

The $0.035 per common share dividend declared by the directors of the Corporation for the month of April 2023 is payable on April 14, 2023, to the shareholders of record at the close of business on March 31, 2023.

Eligible shareholders have the opportunity to reinvest dividends in accordance with the Corporation's dividend reinvestment and cash purchase plan (the "DRIP"). Additional details are available under the investors section of the Corporation's website www.decisivedividend.com.

This dividend is designated as an "eligible" dividend under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and any corresponding provincial legislation ("Tax Legislation").
