FERRONORDIC AB The Board of Directors of Ferronordic have decided to withdraw the previous dividend proposal and propose that the Annual General Meeting on 25 June resolve that no dividend shall be paid
Ferronordic has a strong financial position, liquidity and business model, built around a great team and a robust aftermarket business. Since the original dividend proposal was submitted however, the business environment has changed significantly as a result of COVID-19.
To ensure that Ferronordic can maintain the highest possible financial strength and flexibility in the current environment, the Board proposes to the AGM on 25 June that no dividend shall be paid out.
Staffan Jufors, chairman of the Board of Directors, comments: 'Given the current uncertainity and potential disruption on our markets, Ferronordic is taking steps to further strengthen its resilience and financial position. In the context of this outlook and in line with these efforts, the Board proposes that no dividend shall be paid'.
A more detailed update on the business situation and financial position will be provided in connection with Ferronordic's first quarter 2020 report on 13 May 2020.
