Find answers to some commonly asked questions about Doyon stocks.

When is the next shareholder dividend, and how much will it be?: Distributions are made in December of each year. The amount of the distribution will be based on the average net profits for the preceding five years.
Does Doyon have direct deposit for shareholder dividends?: Yes. Forms are available online or by coming into the shareholder records department office. If you sign up for direct deposit before the Nov. 11 deadline, your dividend will go straight into your bank account when funds are distributed.
Can I sell my stock?: No, Doyon stock cannot be sold, transferred or traded. These restrictions on Native corporation stock were established with the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) until 1991. Unless shareholders of the corporation voted to lift the restrictions, they would then automatically remain in effect. In 1989, 75 percent of the shareholders who responded to a survey said they wanted to continue the restrictions.
How long does it take for a deceased shareholder's stock to be reissued to next of kin?: If there are no problems with the estate, it takes approximately 120 days to determine a deceased shareholder’s heirs. Doyon typically takes approximately six months if any of the potential heirs object to the distribution of shares. All dividends are held until the stock is distributed to the proper heirs.
Are dividends taxable?: They are now. ANCSA allowed Native corporations to pay non-taxable distributions equal to the amount received in their original cash settlement. For Doyon, that amount is approximately $54 million. From 1989 to 1999, Doyon paid more than $54 million in non-taxable distributions to shareholders, making all future distributions taxable. Today, dividends that shareholders receive are taxable.
