Calista Corporation announces $8 Million Spring Distribution

Largest Distribution Welcomes 1,600 New Shareholders

Calista Corporation is pleased to announce its largest distribution at $8.1 million will occur this spring, a 16 percent increase from last year’s spring distribution of $6.97 million. Additionally, the number of Shareholders increased by over 1,600 in the past year to more than 33,700 Shareholders this year. Calista is the largest regional Alaska Native Corporation by number of Shareholders.

The average Shareholder owns 100 shares and will receive an estimated $223. This is the 36th distribution in Calista’s history. Total distributions to Shareholders now exceed $94 million.

“The Board’s long-term goals and Calista’s hardworking staff together have achieved many successes, despite challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Robert Beans, Calista Corporation Board Chair. “Over $4.8 million will go into the Calista Region because a majority of our Shareholders live in southwest Alaska.”

The distribution will occur on or before April 14. Checks will be mailed for those without direct deposit. Shareholders in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Region should allow up to three weeks for mailed checks to arrive. Weather and COVID-19 issues can impact this timeframe.

Distributions come from the Calista Corporation Settlement Trust.

All updates or changes must be sent in by 5 p.m. on Friday, March 26. Our secure fax is 907-275-2922.
