ALLEN, TX--(Marketwire - January 4, 2010) - The Board of Directors of Atrion Corporation (
Commenting on the dividend action, Emile A. Battat, Chairman and CEO, stated, "This special dividend reflects the Company's solid capitalization and its continuing ability to generate strong cash flows from operations. As of September 30, 2009 the Company had no debt, and had cash and marketable securities totaling $30.7 million. The special dividend totaling approximately $12 million demonstrates the Board's commitment to maximize return to stockholders, while continuing to maintain a substantial liquid position that, along with anticipated future free cash flows and available credit lines, should be more than adequate to meet our capital needs and pursue potential acquisitions that could contribute to and enhance our strong franchise."
