WICKHAM'S CAY 1, Tortola, VI– Great news for 94 local shareholders as Tortola Pier Park Ltd. (TPPL) has been approved to issue Dividends for 2018.

The TPPL Board supported by the BVI Ports Authority Board which is the Parent Company of TPPL, recognise the importance of dividends being remitted to shareholders, and accordingly have approved the payment of 2018 dividends in the amount of US$529,974.

The payment date is slated for Monday, June 8, 2020 (“the Dividend”).

The largest Investor, which is Social Security Board (SSB), will receive US$442,500.

These payouts come at a time when the Virgin Islands is still navigating turbulent times as a result of the economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic while also moving towards 90% recovery as a result of the 2017 physical ravages to the Facility due to Hurricanes Irma and Maria.

In a magnanimous gesture, The Board of Tortola Pier Park Ltd have also offered the following concessions on rent obligations for eligible Tenants:

                April       -              Rent Free (100% discount)

                May       -              75% OFF

                June      -              75% OFF

The CEO, Mr Vance M. Lewis said: “as we navigate this fast-changing Covid-19 environment, we are pleased that we could be in a position to assist the Government of the Virgin Islands in their endeavour to ensure that the most vulnerable in our Society receive the necessary attention by paying the 2018 dividends, recognising that the BVI Social Security Board is the majority Preference Shareholder.”

He further stated that “he is appreciative to the TPPL Board in consenting to the rent obligation concessions to CBRTPP Tenants considering the shifting landscapes for conducting business”.

TPPL have undertaken a number of cost-saving initiatives, managed in collaboration with TPPL Tenants, Local Agencies, and the TPPL Team. A statutory solvency test was conducted to allow for a sensible buffer for working capital.

    How can a small man buy shares in the TPP? I will like to know about this and is there any options for Fractional Shares?

      The way I see it you already a shareholder. As a matter of fact every tax paying citizen is a shareholder. If my memory serve me right, our tax dollars funded this project, money even taken from the sewerage project for the eighth district plus it overrun by fifty million dollars(against our tax money) so we should be collecting. Where can I go to claim my dividend? Just asking on behalf of all tax paying citizens. Enquiring minds want to know.
