HARLEYSVILLE, Pa., June 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Met-Pro Corporation
(NYSE: MPR) today announced that the Company's Board of Directors,
at their meeting today, declared a quarterly dividend of
$0.0725 per share payable on
September 13, 2013 to shareholders of
record at the close of business on August
30, 2013.
As previously announced, on April 21,
2013, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with CECO Environmental Corp.
("CECO"). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, in the
event that the closing date of the First Step Merger (as
defined in the Merger Agreement) occurs before August 30, 2013, then the dividend declared on
June 5, 2013 shall not be paid to the
Company's shareholders; however, in such event, CECO has
agreed to set its record date for the payment of its third dividend
occurring during its current fiscal year to occur on a date that is
at least two business days after the closing date of the First Step
Merger.
The closing of the First Step Merger is subject to customary
conditions including the approval of the Company's shareholders at
a special meeting of shareholders to be held following the mailing
of a prospectus/proxy statement for the special meeting of
shareholders. CECO filed a registration statement containing this
prospectus/proxy statement with the SEC on May 23, 2013, but at this time, the Company is
not able to state whether the closing date for the First Step
Merger will occur before August 30,
2013. After the mailing of the prospectus/proxy statement,
the Company and CECO expect to announce the anticipated date for
the closing of the First Step Merger.
