Dividend History and Restrictions.
The Company’s Board has an established policy of declaring regular quarterly cash dividends and has paid a regular quarterly dividend in each quarter since the fourth quarter of 1995. The Company declared and paid its quarterly cash dividend of $1.65 per share for the first quarter and second quarter of 2023, declared and paid its quarterly cash dividend of $1.75 per share for the third quarter of 2023 through the first quarter of 2024, and declared and paid its quarterly cash dividend of $2.00 per share for the second quarter of 2024 through the fourth quarter of 2025.
The declaration and payment of future dividends, if any, by the Company will be at the discretion of the Board and will depend upon many factors, including the Company’s earnings, financial condition, business needs and growth objectives, capital and surplus requirements of its operating subsidiaries, regulatory restrictions, rating agency considerations and other factors. As an insurance holding company, the Company is partially dependent on dividends and other permitted payments from its subsidiaries to pay cash dividends to its shareholders. The payment of dividends to Group by Holdings and to Holdings by Everest Re is subject to Delaware regulatory restrictions and the payment of dividends to Group by Bermuda Re is subject to Bermuda insurance regulatory restrictions. See ITEM 1, “Regulatory Matters - Dividends” and ITEM 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”- Note 18 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
