Large Portion of Dividend Will Qualify as Tax-Free Return of Capital
LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - December 2, 2010) - Stamps.com® (
Based upon a preliminary tax analysis, Stamps.com currently estimates that 80% to 95% of the $2.00 per share special dividend will qualify as a tax-free return of capital. The final amount that qualifies as a return of capital depends on the financial outcome of fiscal year 2010 and will be communicated to shareholders once the final percentage has been determined. Shareholders are encouraged to consult with their own tax and financial advisors regarding the implications of this dividend on their individual circumstances.
