HARTSVILLE, S.C., Feb. 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Board of Directors of Sonoco (NYSE: SON) today increased its quarterly common stock dividend by approximately 5 percent to $0.45 per share from the previous quarterly distribution of $0.43 per share. The dividend will be paid on March 10, 2021, to shareholders of record as of February 24, 2021.<\/p>\n

With this increase, Sonoco\u2019s annual dividend payout moves to $1.80 per share from $1.72 per share, a 4.7 percent increase. Future quarterly declarations and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to the final determination by Sonoco\u2019s Board of Directors.<\/p>\n

According to Howard Coker, president and chief executive officer, this is the 383rd <\/sup>consecutive quarter, dating back to 1925, that the Company has paid dividends to shareholders, and is the 38th consecutive year the Company has increased its dividend. Based on the closing price of Sonoco\u2019s common stock on February 9, 2021, the Company\u2019s dividend provides approximately a 3.0 percent yield, which is nearly double the dividend yield of the S&P 500 Index.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s announced dividend increase further demonstrates Sonoco\u2019s financial strength and illustrates our focus on a balanced capital allocation approach,\u201d Coker said. \u201cWe will continue to invest in ourselves to strengthen our core business, while remaining committed to returning value to our shareholders.\u201d<\/p>\n
