B&G Foods, Inc. (NYSE: BGS) today explained the tax treatment for dividends paid in 2023 on the Company’s common stock. Holders are urged to check their 2023 tax statements received from brokerage firms in order to ensure that the cash distribution information reported on such statements conforms to the information reported herein.
Additional information concerning the tax treatment of dividends paid in 2023 is posted to the Investors section of B&G Foods’ website, www.bgfoods.com, under the headings “FAQs” and “IRS Form 8937.” Holders are also urged to consult their own tax advisors to determine their individual tax treatment.
In 2023, B&G Foods distributed $0.76000 per share of common stock (CUSIP # 05508R 10 6). Based on U.S. federal income tax laws, B&G Foods has determined that all of such distributions will be treated as a return of capital and no portion will be treated as a taxable dividend. Generally, the portion of the distribution on the common stock that is treated as a return of capital should reduce the tax basis in the shares of common stock up to a holder’s adjusted basis in the common stock, with any excess treated as capital gains.
