JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Feb. 11, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On February 4, 2015 Stein Mart, Inc. SMRT announced that its Board of Directors declared a special dividend of $5.00 per common share, payable on February 27, 2015 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 13, 2015.

The ex-dividend date for this dividend is March 2, 2015. For special dividends of greater than 25 percent of the price of the stock, the ex-dividend date is the first business day following the dividend payment date.
