$19M special dividend — $2.00 per share; approximately $19 million total
Weyco Group’s special dividend repeats last year’s $2 payout, returning $19 million while preserving room for growth and strategic opportunities.
Weyco is a branded footwear company navigating tariff and consumer-demand uncertainty, but its latest operating picture was unusually strong: second-quarter 2026 sales rose 7% and earnings benefited heavily from tariff refunds. Against that backdrop, this filing returns excess cash without changing the operating story.
The filing repeats an established capital-allocation pattern. Weyco declared the same $2.00-per-share special dividend and roughly $19 million cash outlay it announced in November 2025, making the direction—and even the size—largely expected rather than a new strategic signal.

|---|---|---|
| Special dividend (Exhibit 99.1) | $2.00 per share | — |
| Total cash outlay (Exhibit 99.1) | Approximately $19 million | — |

It confirms excess liquidity, but does not advance the footwear business itself. Management says cash has built beyond operating and capital-expenditure needs while still leaving room for organic growth and strategic opportunities. 〔0〕 That is supportive of balance-sheet flexibility, but the filing provides no new investment, acquisition, growth target, or operating guidance.
Bottom line: This is a routine confirmation of Weyco’s recurring special-dividend policy, not a rewrite of the business story. It returns meaningful cash while leaving the company’s operating outlook unchanged.
