On December 13, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.02 per share that was paid on January 15, 2018 to stockholders of record on December 31, 2017.
 
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was signed into United States tax law, which among other provisions will lower the corporate tax rate to 21%. Given this date of enactment, our financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2017 do not reflect the impact of the Act. The Company is in the process of analyzing the potential aggregate impact of the Act and will reflect any such impact in the quarterly report for the period in which the law was enacted.
