Spring 2023 Distribution Date Announced

The Sealaska Board of Directors will meet on Friday, April 14 to approve the amount for Sealaska’s 2023 spring distribution. The distribution will take place on Friday, April 21. Shareholders are encouraged to complete and/or update any enrollment or stock transfer paperwork by the official record date of 4 p.m. Alaska time on Monday, April 17.

“Sealaska is committed to providing stable dividend payments to shareholders, regardless of what is happening in the wider economic climate,” said Sealaska President and CEO Anthony Mallott. “Our diverse income structure allows us to continue providing dividends even in years when one income source is impacted. Sealaska’s strategy remains focused on long-term financial stability, thinking not only of today’s shareholders but the next generation as well.”

Sealaska distributions are made up of income from three sources:

• Business Operations
• The Marjorie V. Young Shareholder Permanent Fund
• ANCSA Section 7(i) Resource Revenue Sharing

Only shareholders who hold Class B (urban) and Class C (at-large) shares receive 7(i) Resource Revenue Sharing funds directly from Sealaska. Sealaska sends the 7(j) funds for shareholders of Class A (village) shares directly to village corporations. It is up to those corporations how or if those funds are then distributed. Class D (descendants), E (Elders), and L (left outs) are not eligible for 7(i) payments as the shares they hold are not original shares.

To qualify for a Sealaska distribution, you must have completed the enrollment process by the official record date of 4 p.m. Alaska time on Monday, April 17. Complete descendant enrollment on MySealaska by registering with your email address and completing the application. All share transfers, giftings and other records must also be updated by that date.
