Omega Flex, Inc. (the “Company”) today announced that on December 11, 2006, the Board of Directors authorized a special dividend of $0.40 per share for shareholders of record as of January 2, 2007, and payable as soon as practicable thereafter. This is the third special dividend that has been declared and issued by the Company since 1996, and the first such special dividend declared since the Company became a publicly-traded company in July 2005. In declaring this special dividend, the Board has restated its dividend policy of reviewing the cash needs of the Company from time to time, and based on results of operations, financial condition and capital expenditure plans, as well as such other factors as the Board of Directors may consider relevant, determine whether to declare a dividend from time to time out of the Company’s excess cash reserves.

 

Kevin R. Hoben, President and CEO of Omega Flex, Inc., stated “We are very pleased to pay dividends to the shareholders, given the unique financial conditions and demands facing the Company. This dividend is a confirmation of the strategy of spinning off Omega Flex, Inc. from its former parent Mestek, Inc., and providing enhanced value to shareholders of the company, not only through capital appreciation of the common stock, but also through this special dividend.”
