Lennar Corporation Increases Annual Dividend to $1.00 Per Share

MIAMI, Oct. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Lennar Corporation LEN, one of the nation's leading homebuilders, announced that its Board of Directors has increased its annual dividend to $1.00 per share from $0.50 per share, resulting in a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per share for both Class A and Class B common stock. The dividend is payable on October 30, 2020 to holders of record at the close of business on October 16, 2020.

Stuart Miller, Executive Chairman of Lennar, said, "We are increasing our dividend as part of our overall strategy of focusing on total shareholder returns. Given our confidence in our operating platform and resulting cash flow generation, we believe a diversified program of debt reduction, stock repurchase and now an increased dividend, is appropriate."
