Dividend
Reinvestment Plan |
|
| |
Our dividend reinvestment plan
provides our common and preferred shareholders with
a convenient and economical way to participate in
the future growth of TDS. Common and preferred shareholders
of record owning ten (10) or more shares may purchase
Common Shares with their reinvested dividends at
a five percent discount from market price. Shares
may also be purchased, at market price, on a monthly
basis through optional cash payments of up to $5,000
in any calendar quarter. The initial ten (10) shares
cannot be purchased directly from TDS. An authorization
card and prospectus will be mailed automatically
by the transfer agent to all registered record holders
with ten (10) or more shares. Once enrolled in the
plan, there are no brokerage commissions or service
charges for purchases made under the plan. |
