Marimekko Corporation announced that the Board of Directors proposed to the AGM that the General Meeting authorize the Board to decide on the payment of a maximum dividend of EUR 1.00 per share in one or several instalments at a later stage when the company can make a more reliable estimate of the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic on the company’s business. The authorization would be valid until the next AGM. The company will publish the possible decision on dividend payment separately and, at the same time, confirm the pertinent record and payment dates. As the Board of Directors proposes an authorization to the Board to decide on a dividend payment (and therefore the proposal for the dividend to be distributed based on the resolution of the AGM is less than the minimum amount of minority dividend pursuant to Chapter 13, Section 7 of the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act), shareholders have the right to demand a minority dividend pursuant to Chapter 13, Section 7 of the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act. The minority dividend must be distributed, if a demand to this effect is made by shareholders who have at least one tenth of all shares. The amount of minority dividend is EUR 4,359,035.56, either EUR 0.54 per share. A shareholder demanding a minority dividend may vote for the minority dividend in advance voting, and no separate demand or counterproposal is required.
