| Lafarge North America Clarifies Quarterly Dividend Lafarge North America, the U.S. and Canada's largest diversified supplier of construction materials, announced a clarification with respect to its recently declared cash dividend of twenty-four cents ($0.24) per share of Lafarge North America common stock, payable on June 1, 2006, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 16, 2006. Since this is the case, the New York Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange have informed Lafarge North America that they will not designate shares of the common stock as "ex-dividend" (i.e., trading without any potential right to such dividend), if at all, unless and until the record date of the close of business on May 16, 2006 has passed without such acceptance and merger having occurred, which Lafarge North America believes will minimize investor confusion. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
