Answer: Issued dividends while maintaining a constant number of outstanding shares of stock
Explanation:
A negative cashflow is meant to indicate that cash has left the company. If this is in relation to the owners then it either means that the company has repurchased shares or paid out dividends.
From the options, the correct answer would be that the company issued dividends while maintaining a constant number of outstanding shares of stock. This would be reflected in the Financing section of the Cashflow statement.
