PC Connection, Inc. Announces a Special Dividend to Shareholders

MERRIMACK, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 14, 2011--PC Connection, Inc. (NASDAQ: PCCC), a holder of companies that provide a full range of information technology solutions to business, government, and education markets, today announced that its Board of Directors declared a special, one-time cash dividend of $0.40 per share payable on December 7, 2011 to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 25, 2011. The total amount of the special dividend payment will be approximately $10.6 million based on the current number of shares outstanding. Any declaration of future cash dividends will depend upon PC Connection’s financial position, strategic plans, and general business conditions at the time.

“As previously reported, our business has been healthy with record third quarter revenues, and quarterly operating income and earnings per share were at the highest level in more than a decade,” said Timothy McGrath, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our balance sheet and ability to leverage company assets are strong. We believe that this special dividend–the first in our Company’s history–is an appropriate way to reward shareholders for their support.”

PC Connection intends to continue to invest in emerging market opportunities, including expansion of its professional services offerings, as well as to repurchase stock pursuant to its share repurchase program.
