Market Information
Shares of our common stock began regular-way trading on October 2, 2023 and are quoted on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “VSTS.” Prior to October 2, 2023 there was no public market for our common stock. As of October 25, 2024, there were approximately 770 holders of record of our outstanding common stock. This does not include persons who hold our common stock in nominee or “street name” accounts through brokers or banks.
Dividends
We declared and paid a quarterly dividend of $0.035 per share to our shareholders of record for the first, second, and third quarter of fiscal 2024. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, we declared a dividend of $0.035 to be paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The timing, declaration, amount and payment of any future dividends will continue to be within the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon many factors, including our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements of our operating subsidiaries, covenants associated with certain of our debt service obligations, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, industry practice, ability to access capital markets and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. There can be no assurance that we will continue to pay such dividends or the amount of such dividends.
Stock Performance Graph
The following graph compares the total return on the Company’s common stock for our fiscal 2024 year with the Standard & Poor’s SmallCap 600 Index (“S&P 600”) and a customized peer group of three companies that includes Cintas Corporation, UniFirst Corporation, and Rollins, Inc.. The graph assumes $100 was invested in the S&P 600 and peer group companies on the first day of regular-way trading on October 2, 2023 for our common stock, and that all dividends were reinvested. The total return for the peer group companies was weighted according to the market capitalization of each company.
