Through share buybacks rather than dividends. Over the last twelve months General American Investors Company reduced its share count at a rate equivalent to a 0.4% buyback yield. A buyback returns value by shrinking the share count, so each remaining share owns more of the business, but unlike a dividend it pays you nothing in cash and can be stopped at any time without an announcement.

If it paid out half of that, the dividend would be roughly €0.28 per share, a yield of about 19.6% at the current price.
