PRESS RELEASE
The Unit Trust of Samoa (UTOS) is pleased to announce that it has recorded a Dividend of SAT $1,000,000.00 on 29 April 2015 from Bluesky Samoa Limited. This is the fourth consecutive time that UTOS has received a dividend from its investment in Bluesky Samoa Limited since becoming a shareholder on 1st July 2010.
This being a significant event for UTOS, the trading of units was temporarily suspended at 3.00pm Wednesday 29 April 2015 to allow management time to recalculate the UTOS Unit Price.
Ultimately, our Unitholders are the beneficiaries of this dividend. The unit price has now reached $1.58 following the dividend declaration, which is an increase of 4 sene from the last unit price.
We’d like to take this time to remind our Unitholders of another benefit they are entitled to from Bluesky Samoa – the UTOS Mobile Plan, launched during the Unitholders AGM in September 2013. The Plan consists of $120 tala worth of free call minutes, data and texts each year. If you are a unitholder of UTOS and have not joined the Plan, call or visit our office for more information. We encourage our unitholders to support Bluesky because benefits will go back to them in the form of dividends and mobile plans.
As of Wednesday 29 April 2015, the number of unitholders of UTOS has reached 1,503.
All Samoans are encouraged to start an investment in UTOS and take advantage of these benefits.
We would to take this opportunity to thank the Board of Directors, Management and Staff of Bluesky Samoa Limited for another successful year. UTOS is also looking forward to improved returns following its recent 26% equity investment in Bluesky Pacific Holdings Limited which is the Bluesky group flagship leading the expansion to the Cook Islands and New Zealand markets.
The Board and Manage of UTOS would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a wonderful Mother’s Day.
Faafetai.
