quarterly cash dividend financial

"declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.375 per share of common stock"

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.

shareholders of record financial

"payable on June 5, 2026 to shareholders of record as of May 8, 2026"

Shareholders of record are the people officially listed as owners of a company's stock on a specific date. This matters because only these shareholders are entitled to receive dividends or vote at company meetings. It's like being on the official guest list for a party—you get to enjoy the perks and have a say.

dividend policy financial

"The dividend is being paid pursuant to the dividend policy (the “Policy”) adopted by the Company’s Board"

A dividend policy is a company’s rule for how it shares profits with shareholders versus keeping them to grow the business. Think of it like a household deciding each month how much to spend, save, or invest: the policy determines how much cash investors can expect as regular income, how stable that income is likely to be, and what the company prioritizes—paying returns now or funding future growth. Investors use it to gauge income reliability and management’s confidence in the business.

forward-looking statements regulatory

"This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933"

Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

Risk Factors regulatory

"including the “Risk Factors” section of Matador’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K"

Risk factors are elements or conditions that could cause an investment's value to decrease or lead to potential losses. They are like warning signs or obstacles that can affect the success of an investment, making it uncertain or more unpredictable. Recognizing risk factors helps investors understand the possible challenges and make more informed decisions.
