ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- On July 28, 2023, at its regular quarterly meeting, the Board of Directors of Crawford & Company® declared an increased quarterly dividend from $0.06 per share to $0.07 per share on both the Class A and Class B Common Stock, payable on September 1, 2023, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 18, 2023.

The Board also authorized the Company to restart its share repurchase program and extend the program’s termination date to December 31, 2024. The Board previously authorized a repurchase program in 2021 and there are 1,793,371 shares remaining to be purchased.
