(Nasdaq: JKHY) today announced that its Board of Directors has increased the quarterly cash dividend 22 percent to $.055 per share. The cash dividend on Jack Henry's common stock, par value $.01 per share, is payable on March 2, 2006 to stockholders of record as of February 16, 2006. As of January 26, 2006, there were 91,560,148 shares of JKHY common stock outstanding. According to Kevin D Williams, CFO of Jack Henry & Associates, "One of our long-time corporate goals, which we established in 1990, has been to increase dividends on an annual basis. While we have typically increased dividends at a discount to our earnings growth, it is the opinion of our Board of Directors that the market has not adequately rewarded our stockholders for our earnings performance during the past couple of years. In response, the Jack Henry Board has voted to increase our dividend by 22 percent to $.055 per quarter. The timing of this announcement during our third fiscal quarter is consistent with our historic dividend announcements."
