MISSISSAUGA, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Covalon Technologies Ltd. (the “Company” or “Covalon”) (TSXV: COV; OTCQX: CVALF), an advanced medical technologies company, today announced that its Board of Directors has declared a special cash dividend (the “Special Dividend”) in the aggregate amount of $4,112,711.55 CAD, being $0.15 CAD per common share of the Company to be paid on November 18, 2025 to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 4, 2025 (the “Record Date”).

The Special Dividend has been designated as an eligible dividend for purposes of section 89 of the Income Tax Act (Canada) which may, in certain circumstances, provide preferential rates of taxation. Shareholders are encouraged to consult with their financial advisors.

Shareholders as of the Record Date do not need to take any action to receive the Special Dividend.

Brent Ashton, Director and Chief Executive Officer of Covalon, said, “Our company has been profitable for the last 6 quarters, resulting in a current cash balance of $18.9 million CAD and no debt. Covalon’s Board of Directors is of the view that the Company should reward shareholders by paying a special cash dividend as Covalon’s financial success has allowed it to aggregate a very strong cash position which is not necessary for the continued successful operation of the Company. The Covalon team is working hard to continue the success we are currently experiencing. The Board of Directors may or may not determine to pay additional special cash dividends to its shareholders in the future.”
