Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity
ITEM 5.
MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.
Dividend Information
On March 29, 2020, we announced our action plan in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic uncertainties. Included in that plan was the elimination of the June quarterly dividend to prioritize near-term financial flexibility. Although we expect to continue to pay quarterly dividends in the future, the payment of future cash dividends is within the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our earnings, capital requirements and operating and financial condition, as well as excess availability under the credit agreement, among other factors.
Shareholders
Our common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol "LZB". We had approximately 1,919 registered holders of record of La-Z-Boy's common stock as of June 16, 2020 . A substantially greater number of holders of La-Z-Boy common stock are "street name" or beneficial holders, whose shares of record are held by banks, brokers, and other financial institutions.
Performance Graph
