Our common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “PFG” on October 23, 2001. Prior to such date, there was no established public trading market for our common stock. Effective December 15, 2017, we changed our listing to the Nasdaq Global Select Market and continue trading under the symbol “PFG”. On February 2, 2024, there were 210,544 stockholders of record of our common stock.
We have historically paid cash dividends on our common stock. Future dividend decisions will be based on and affected by a number of factors, including our results and financial requirements and the impact of regulatory restrictions.
