In light of the circumstances, The Alumasc Group plc is taking all appropriate and prudent measures to ensure the cash flow of the business is protected. Accordingly, the Board has decided that, as part of its cash conservation programme, it needs to cancel the proposed interim dividend of 2.95p per share (amounting to a saving of £1.06m), as announced on 4 February 2020 and which was due to be paid on 7 April 2020 as previously scheduled. The Board will resume its dividend policy, as soon as forward visibility permits.
