CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 1, 2015--
American Financial Group, Inc. (NYSE/Nasdaq: AFG) announced that it has
declared a regular dividend of $0.25 per share of American Financial
Group Common Stock. The dividend is payable on April 27, 2015 to holders
of record on April 15, 2015.
The Company also announced today that it plans to terminate and
voluntarily withdraw the dual listing of its common stock from the
Nasdaq exchange and list its common stock solely on the NYSE. AFG
obtained a dual listing for its common stock on Nasdaq in April 2004.
After many years of experience with dual listing, AFG has determined
that its common stock should trade on a single national securities
exchange in order to, among other things, eliminate the administrative
costs and burdens associated with maintaining the listing of its common
stock on multiple securities exchanges. AFG anticipates that its last
trading day of its dual listing on the Nasdaq exchange will be April 16,
2015.
