Sunnyvale, CA - November 7, 2013 - Alliance Fiber Optic Products, Inc. (Nasdaq CM: AFOP), an innovative supplier of fiber optic components, subsystems and integrated modules for the optical network equipment market, today declares an annual cash dividend of $0.15 (Fifteen cents) per share to be paid on December 23, 2013, to the record holders of AFOP common stock as of the close of business on December 6, 2013. The last year annual cash dividend was $0.125 (Twelve and one half cents), adjusted for a two-for-one stock split occurring in August, 2013.
Peter Chang, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “AFOP has been achieving record quarterly profits in the last two quarters and is on the way to deliver record annual financial performance. While our priority is to grow the business through research and development or acquisition of businesses, we will use additional resources to enhance shareholder value as well. We believe that an annual cash dividend is appropriate and will contribute to this goal, as we maintain our commitment to research and development or possible merger and acquisition opportunities to fuel our growth in the future.” concluded Mr. Chang.
