NYMEX Holdings, Inc., To Distribute Dividend to Shareholders
The board of directors of NYMEX Holdings, Inc., voted last night to declare and distribute a dividend of $2.5 million to stockholders of record as of July 15, 2004. The dividend is the fourth issued by the holding company of the New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc., since the demutualization of the Exchange in November 2000. Each stockholder will receive $3,063.73 per share of NYMEX Holdings common stock during the week of July 26. The strong performance of the Exchange in both its traditional open outcry markets and new business initiatives continued during the first half of the year, and the board is delighted that its continued success allows shareholders to participate in its profitability. The board has agreed to review the issue of distributing a dividend on a six-month basis.
