The dividend is payable August 5, 2022, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on July 29, 2022. Shareholders will receive two additional shares of Common Stock for every share held on the record date. As a result of the stock split, REX American Resources' outstanding shares of Common Stock will increase from 5,953,975 at present, to approximately 17,861,925 shares.

Commenting on the stock split, REX American Resources' Chief Executive Officer, Zafar Rizvi, commented, "Since 2010, the Company has repurchased approximately 4,779,000 shares of its common stock, which reflects our confidence in our long-term prospects and the strong cash flow that we have generated from our ethanol operations and ownership interests. However, due to the resulting significant reduction in float, the Board of Directors has authorized a 3-for-1 stock split to enhance liquidity for our shareholders."
