Fresh produce company Total Produce said it will pay a final dividend of 2.770 cent per share for 2020.
It said the dividend will be paid on May 28.
In February, Total Produce announced plans to combine with the Dole Food Company and to move its listings from Dublin and London to the US.
Total Produce agreed to buy a 45% stake in Dole Food Company, one of the world's biggest fresh fruit and vegetable companies - for €300m in 2018.
The combined company, operating under the Dole brand, will be incorporated in Ireland, with its global headquarters in Dublin and the headquarters for the Americas in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Total Produce said the deal will create the potential for significant revenue synergies and cost efficiencies and a platform to pursue growth from a broader set of available commercial opportunities.
After the deal is complete, Dole will be the biggest fresh produce company in the world with estimated combined 2020 revenue of about $9.7 billion, adjusted EBITDA of about $379m and total assets of about $4.5 billion.
The management teams of Total Produce and Dole, with combined experience of over 150 years in the fresh produce sector, will continue to operate the combined business.
Shares in the company were higher in Dublin trade today.
