The retailer of medium- to higher-priced apparel for fashion-focused young men and women last Monday announced a $3 special dividend, hiked its payout 20% and declared a 3-for-2 stock split.

The $3 bonus and the new quarterly are both payable Oct. 27, and the ex-dividend date for both is Oct. 10. Additional shares resulting from the split will be distributed Oct. 30, with an ex-date of Oct. 31. All three transactions have a record date of Oct. 15.

In January 2007, it distributed a $2 split-adjusted special dividend and divided its shares 3-for-2.
