Home > For Shareholders > Benefits > DistributionsDistribution DatesThe Sealaska board of directors at the regular March 29, 2013 meeting declared a spring distribution to tribal member shareholders to be paid on or about April 12, 2013. The April 2013 distribution represents more than $12 million to tribal member shareholders and Southeast village corporations. Combined with the December 2012 distribution, Sealaska will pay out more than $24 million to shareholders for fiscal year 2012. “I’m very happy Sealaska is able to provide distributions consistently to tribal member shareholders over the years,” said Sealaska Chair Albert Kookesh. “The economic impact of the April 2013 distribution to Southeast and Alaska’s economy is huge. I hope leaders across the state take note that Sealaska is a major contributor to Alaska’s economy as a result of Sealaska shareholders who continue to live at home.” “The board-approved distribution is one meaningful benefit that Sealaska provides to shareholders and communities,” said Sealaska Finance Committee Chair Joe Nelson. “For example, each year we provide more than $300,000 in higher education scholarships, our profits support the internship program, and soon we will be breaking ground on the Walter Soboleff Center in downtown Juneau, Alaska.” The April 2013 distribution includes payments from ANCSA Section 7(i) revenue sharing. Under Section 7(i), regional Native corporations like Sealaska are required to share 70 percent of their resource revenues from ANCSA lands with the other ANCSA corporations, according to Sealaska President and CEO Chris McNeil Jr. “Sealaska’s timber program funneled more than $300 million to 7(i) during the early years of ANCSA and now contributions are coming from NANA who is developing their resources. Section 7(i) of ANCSA is doing exactly what it was designed to do,” said McNeil.
Dividends from the Marjorie V. Young Permanent Fund are based on a percent of market value (POMV) of the fund balance. Based on the POMV calculation, the 2012 December dividend will be $0.53 per share.
"Sealaska manages its investments in alignment with our core Native values so that we can fulfill our purpose of strengthening our people, culture and communities," said Sealaska Board Chair Albert Kookesh. "We are announcing a stable distribution to our tribal member shareholders in spite of the Great Recession," said Chris E. McNeil Jr., Sealaska president and CEO. "As the effects of the recession roll out of percent of market value averages and as we strengthen operations, we plan to see growth in future distributions."

How Distributions Are Calculated Sealaska shareholders receive distributions from three sources: operations, the Permanent Fund and Section 7(i) revenue sharing. Sealaska Operations
Sealaska’s dividend policy calls for distribution of up to 35 percent of the Corporation’s net income from operations averaged over the past five years, and up to 50 percent of the earnings from the Permanent Fund averaged over the last five years after inflation proofing and 3 percent of the Permanent Fund’s average fiscal year-end market value over the previous five years. Section 7(i) monies received by Sealaska are paid to shareholders according to the revenue sharing agreement: one half of the Section 7(i) monies received annually are paid back out to Urban and At-Large (Class B and C) shareholders and to Village Corporations. When is the Next Distribution? Distributions are usually made in the months of April and December. Distribution announcements will be made through the eNewsletter, a press release, in the Shareholder newsletter, the homepage of this website and the shareholder hotline. The record date is the date that Sealaska closes its shareholder register from any more changes until after a distribution is made. It occurs a few weeks prior to each distribution and confirms the shareholders of record eligible to receive a given distribution. It is critical to have your shareholder information updated with the Shareholder Records department before any Record Date.
