DIVIDEND

In light of the ongoing pandemic and its difficult-to-assess consequences in 2021, the Board has decided to propose to the AGM that no dividend shall be paid.

The Group has a strong financial position and there are good opportunities for a dividend during the latter part of 2021 and the Board will return at the latest in the interim report for the third quarter, which is scheduled to be published on November 5 2021, with proposal on when a resumption of dividend can take place.
