ST. CATHARINES, Ontario -- 

Algoma Central Corporation (“Algoma” or “the Company”) (TSX: ALC), a leading provider of marine transportation services, today announced that the Company’s Board of Directors authorized payment of a Special Dividend to shareholders of $2.65 per common share.

The dividend is payable on January 12, 2021 to shareholders of record on December 28, 2020.

“Algoma has invested approximately $750 million over the past ten years and our shareholders have been extremely supportive of our fleet renewal and fleet expansion ambitions,” said Gregg Ruhl, President and Chief Executive Officer of Algoma. “The very attractive refinancing that we completed last week now affords us the ability to reward our shareholders for this support. Algoma’s business and balance sheet are strong and we are well positioned to meet our objective of being the Marine Carrier of Choice™ for our customers, suppliers, partners, employees and shareholders,” Mr. Ruhl continued.
