Dividend

The Board of Directors considers applicable legal restrictions, capital expenditures requirements, the financial conditions, general business conditions and contractual obligations when assessing the company’s ability to pay dividends.

The dividend was NOK 0.15/share for the financial year 2016, NOK 0.30/share for the financial year 2017 and NOK 0.45/share for the financial year 2018. Due to the uncertainty associated with the Covid-19 pandemic and unknown macroeconomic consequences of the measures implemented, the Board of Directors recommends that no dividend is paid for 2019.
