Explanatory notes to the Agenda/shareholder circular for the Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on 10 December 2020, and considered to be part of the Agenda

Agenda item 1

Opening and announcements

Agenda item 2

Proposal for an interim distribution

Due to the uncertain market circumstances, in April 2020 Ordina communicated that that it would refrain from proposing the pay-out of a dividend of 9.5 eurocents per share, as included in the annual report for the 2019 financial year. At the General Meeting held on 30 June 2020, the General Meeting decided to add the entire net profit realised in 2019 to Ordina's general reserves. Solid financial results have resulted in a strong balance sheet, which gives an adequate buffer even in this period of uncertainty. In view of the foregoing, it is proposed that the General Meeting approve a proposal to pay out a dividend of 9.5 eurocents per share in cash, to be charged to the general reserves.
