Costco declared a $30-per-share special dividend, payable December 4, 2026, to shareholders on record November 24. Helena Foulkes resigned after being elected Rhode Island governor, and the filing says her exit involved no company disagreement.
The payment gives shareholders cash directly. Foulkes's departure does not point to a company dispute: she was elected Rhode Island governor, and Costco said her resignation was unrelated to its operations, policies, or practices.
