2:13PM Clorox ups dividend, increases share repurchase program (CLX) by Tomi Kilgore
NEW YORK (CBS.MW) - Clorox (CLX) said it would increase its quarterly dividend by 23 percent to 27 cents a share, payable on Aug. 15 to shareholders of record on July 31. The consumer products company also announced a $700 million increase to its share repurchase program, bringing the total funds available to buy back stock to approximately $1 billion. Separately, Clorox said it reached an agreement with HC Investments in which Clorox will repurchase up to $255 million worth of its stock from HC over the next two years. HC currently holds 29 percent of Clorox's outstanding shares. Clorox is spiking up 24 cents at $45.32, after being down as much as 69 cents at $44.39 earlier in the session.

[Harry: We are seeing a lot this recently. It is partly due to the more favourable tax treatment preventing double taxation. I doubt it is due to great profitability and improved business outlook.]
