Overview
A 7(i) distribution is normally sent in May of each year to at-large shareholders. These are from monies received from revenue sharing of natural resource revenues from other Alaska Native regional corporations. Distributions are also sent to village corporations at this time. A yearly dividend is also sent in December of each year based on a policy adopted by the board of directors. This dividend is based on net income from Doyon and is distributed to all shareholders.

Dividend Policy
The amount of the distribution was determined in accordance with a revised distribution policy adopted by the board of directors in 2002. According to the policy, Doyon annually distributes 50 percent of the average of the last five years’ net profits in the form of distributions and contributions.

Taxability
Each dividend is taxable. Shareholders will receive a 1099-Div form for any dividends that are over $600. Shareholders with Class B shares who receive 7(i) monies, will receive a 1099-Div form for any amount over $10. These forms will be mailed to shareholders annually by February 2.

Lost or Missing Checks
If your distribution is lost or stolen, you will need to contact shareholder services. Doyon will explain the procedure and provide the necessary forms, if applicable, to investigate the check in question. Please note that there is only a six month time frame in which Doyon can file fraud claims, so Doyon should be notified as soon as the required time to report a missing distribution has passed.
