Our Class A common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol CIA. All of our Class B common stock is owned by the Harold E. Riley Foundation and is not listed on an exchange; therefore, there is no public trading market for our Class B common stock.
The number of stockholders of record as of March 5, 2021 was as follows:
• Class A Common Stock - 49,559,040
• Class B Common Stock - 1,001,714
We have never paid cash dividends on our Class A or B common stock and do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future, as it is our policy to retain earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business.
