Freeport-McMoRan Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend on Common Stock

24.03.2021  |  Business Wire

Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE: FCX) announced today that its Board of Directors ("Board") declared a cash dividend of $0.075 per share on FCX's common stock payable on May 3, 2021, to stockholders of record as of April 15, 2021.

As previously reported on February 2, 2021, the Board adopted a financial policy for the allocation of cash flows aligned with FCX's strategic objectives of maintaining a strong balance sheet, increasing cash returns to shareholders and advancing opportunities for future growth.

The policy includes a base dividend of $0.30 per share per annum and a performance-based payout framework to be implemented following achievement of a net debt target in the range of $3-$4 billion, excluding project debt for additional smelting capacity in Indonesia. Under the performance-based payout framework, up to 50 percent of available cash flows generated after planned capital spending and distributions to noncontrolling interests would be allocated to shareholder returns and the balance to debt reduction and investments in value enhancing growth projects.
