Apple To Share Some of Its Cash Mountain, $45 Billion, Over 3-Years [bbc.co.uk]

Apple has said it will use its cash to start paying a dividend to shareholders and to buy back some of its shares.

The technology giant said it would pay a quarterly dividend of $2.65 per share from July.

It will buy back up to $10bn (£6.3bn) of its own shares starting in the company's next financial year, which begins on 30 September 2012.

At the end of last year, Apple revealed it had $97.6bn in cash. It expects to use $45bn over the next three years.
