The Hartford Announces 20 Percent Increase To Quarterly Dividend

The Hartford’s board of directors increased the quarterly dividend from $0.25 to $0.30 per share, payable on Oct. 1, 2018, to shareholders of record at the close of business on Sept. 4, 2018.

“As a result of the strong performance of our businesses, the sale of Talcott Resolution and the benefits of a lower corporate tax rate, we are pleased to announce a significant increase in our dividend to shareholders,” said The Hartford’s Chairman and CEO Christopher Swift.

This dividend will result in an adjustment to the exercise price of the outstanding warrants expiring June 26, 2019, and may result in an adjustment to the warrant share number. Adjustments will be posted to the Investor Relations section of The Hartford’s website on or around Aug. 31, 2018.
