Based on current shares outstanding, the transaction should represent an estimated $170 million-$180 million outlay for the company; it will be payable to shareholders of record (as of Nov. 2, 2007) on Dec. 3, 2007. Healthy cash flow, strong contract revenue backlog, and high cash balances should allow Diamond ample financial flexibility with which to fund the special dividend. Nevertheless, we do highlight that this will be Diamond's third special dividend declared over the past two and a half years.
