NovaBay Pharma noted that there are special restrictions on the dividend. Due to its size, more than 25% of the value of NBY stock, NYSE American has said its stock will trade with due bills. This creates a Dividend Right Period lasting from September 15, 2025 through September 29, 2025. Shareholders who sell their NBY stock during this time will forfeit their right to the special cash dividend.
David Lazar, CEO of NovaBay Pharma, said, “This special dividend reflects our commitment to creating and returning value directly to our stockholders. I’m excited about the Company’s future as we explore several interesting strategic alternatives.”
