The Board of Directors of LICT Corporation (OTC Pink: LICT) is privileged to announce that it will continue its Shareholder Charitable Contribution Program for all registered shareholders. All registered shareholders will be eligible to designate charities to which the company will make a donation of $100 per share on behalf of the shareholder.
Warren Buffett had a similar program at Berkshire Hathaway from 1981 to 2003. In addition, GAMCO Investors, Inc., and Associated Capital Group, Inc. have had similar programs.
At LICT, we continue to believe charitable giving is a cornerstone of society and an obligation for those with means to make a difference in the world. As an organization, LICT will have no control over the donations, but we are happy to make them on behalf of our shareholders.
As in the cases of Buffett’s Berkshire, GAMCO, and Associated Capital, only registered shareholders will be eligible to participate.
The timing of the program is expected to be between the middle of November 2024 and January 2025. More specific details will follow.
If all shares are registered in the shareholders’ names at the record date, the total contribution would be approximately $1.7 million.
Since the program’s inception in 2016, LICT has made more than $10 million in contributions to charities designated by registered shareholders.
