Outokumpu Board of Directors decides not to pay dividends for the financial year 2019

Outokumpu's Annual General Meeting on May 28, 2020 authorized the Board of Directors to decide at a later stage and at its discretion, on a dividend payment in one or several instalments of a total maximum of EUR 0.10 per share.

Following a review of the January-September 2020 financial results, Outokumpu's Board of Directors has decided that owing to the importance of strengthening the Company's balance sheet no dividend will be paid for the financial year 2019.

The Board confirms that in the challenging market environment improving the Company's financial position will continue to be of highest priority.
