Our common stock is quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the trading symbol “SCVL.” As of March 22, 2021, there were approximately 127 holders of record of our common stock. We did not sell any unregistered equity securities during fiscal 2020, 2019 or 2018.
Cash Dividends
During fiscal 2020, we paid quarterly cash dividends of $0.085 per share in our first fiscal quarter and $0.090 per share in the second, third and fourth fiscal quarters. The declaration and payment of any future dividends are at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, business conditions and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. Our credit agreement permits the payment of cash dividends as long as no default or event of default exists under the credit agreement both immediately before and immediately after giving effect to the cash dividends, and the aggregate amount of cash dividends for a fiscal year does not exceed $10 million.
On March 18, 2021, the Board of Directors increased the quarterly cash dividend from $0.09 to $0.14 per share, an increase of 56%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The quarterly cash dividend of $0.14 per share will be paid on April 19, 2021 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on April 5, 2021.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock under our Board-approved share repurchase program during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. For a discussion of our share repurchase program, see “Share Repurchase Program” in PART II, ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – “Liquidity and Capital Resources” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Throughout fiscal 2020, we issued treasury shares to certain employees upon the vesting of restricted stock units and performance stock units and to our non-employee directors upon the issuance of service-based restricted stock awards. We also repurchased 72,369 shares of common stock as a result of our withholding shares or allowing our employees to deliver shares to us for the income taxes resulting from the vesting of certain share-settled equity awards. We intend to continue issuing shares out of treasury to meet these needs.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, no shares were delivered to or withheld by us in connection with the vesting of equity awards under our equity compensation plans.
