Item 8.01        Other Events.
On November 12, 2019, Kansas City Southern (the "Company") announced its new capital allocation policy (the "Policy") that was approved by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"). Pursuant to that Policy, over the next three years, the Company intends to deploy available cash in the following manner:
•
Approximately 40-50% to capital projects and strategic investments; and
•
Approximately 50-60% to share repurchases and dividends.
In addition, from time to time, the Company also plans to prudently use additional debt to support the Policy and intends to manage its Debt-to-EBITDA ratio in the low 2x range consistent with its current ratings of BBB from Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings and Baa2 from Moody's.
In connection with this new Policy, the Board also approved the following actions:
•
An increase in the quarterly dividend on KCS's common stock from $0.36 to $0.40 per share. The Board declared a common stock dividend for this increased amount payable on January 22, 2020, to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 31, 2019, and
•
A new $2.0 billion share repurchase program, expiring December 31, 2022. This new program replaces the $800 million stock repurchase announced in 2017 under which the Company purchased approximately $741 million of Company stock.
