quarterly cash dividend financial

"has declared a quarterly cash dividend of twelve cents ($0.12) per share"

A quarterly cash dividend is a payment made by a company to its shareholders four times a year, usually based on its profits. It is like a regular bonus or reward for owning the company's stock, providing shareholders with income. Many investors see these payments as a sign of the company's stability and its ability to generate consistent profits.

holders of record financial

"to holders of record of its Common Stock, $0.01 par value, on May 8, 2026"

Names listed on a company’s official register at a specific cut-off date who are legally entitled to receive dividends, vote on corporate matters, or participate in other shareholder actions. Think of it like a guest list for an event: only those on the list at the snapshot time get the invitation or benefits, so investors watch the record date to know whether they will receive payouts or voting rights for a given corporate action.

Common Stock, $0.01 par value financial

"its Common Stock, $0.01 par value, on May 8, 2026"

Exhibit 99.1 regulatory

"99.1 | | Press release of ArcBest dated April 24, 2026."

Exhibit 99.1 is a label used in regulatory filings to identify a specific attached document, most often a company press release or investor presentation filed with securities regulators. For investors it matters because it marks an official, contemporaneous source of information directly tied to a filing—like the original news article pinned to a legal record—so traders and analysts treat it as an authoritative statement that can move a stock or clarify a company’s situation.
