Allied Motion (AMOT) Declares Dividend

Allied Motion Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: AMOT) today announced that it will begin a quarterly cash dividend program. The Board of Directors has declared the first quarterly dividend payment of $.02 per share payable on August 29, 2011 to shareholders of record on August 17, 2011.

In addition, with the payment of a dividend, we would expect to attract new investors into our stock in the future.
