Could be like the overseas holdout stuff though. Don’t pay a dividend or buyback ever, but spend money lobbying on a one time holiday where a big dividend will be paid to everyone but the government share holder, or paid to them at a reduced rate. Eventually an admin comes in and makes it happen like Trump with the overseas money tax holiday. Holding out makes more sense than ever paying out.

Would you be willing to invest in a company that refused to pay a dividend until an unpredictable event in the future? Perhaps, but it wouldn't make a lot of sense.

Many did exactly that for the overseas tax repatriation.
