For the quarter ending March 31, 1995, common shareholders will receive a 20 cent dividend, which includes the normal 10 cent quarterly dividend plus a special additional 10 cent dividend, according to a release from the company.

Directors also announced the regular 20 cent per share dividend on the 8% convertible preferred shares will be payable April 28 to shareholders of record April 13.

"We are very pleased with our earnings to date which are well in excess of our initial estimates when the merger of Bermuda Home and L.P. Gutteridge Mortgage & Finance was announced in March of last year,'' said Mr. Arthur Haycock, president and Chief Executive Officer of Bermuda Home.

"As a result we wanted to give our shareholders something extra, partly to compensate them for their confidence but also because Bermuda Home Ltd. only started paying dividends at the end of our second quarter in September, 1994.

Our outlook for the future is positive and we plan to continue paying dividends on a regular basis,'' he added.
