To: The General Meeting in Gjensidige Forsikring ASA From: The Board of Gjensidige Forsikring ASA Date: 20 March 2020
The ongoing situation in the wake of the Covid-19 outbreak is a significant global challenge, with wide implications for businesses and societies. Due to uncertainty regarding the economic consequences of the situation, the Board proposes to adjust the proposed allocation of the annual result, herein a change in the distribution of the dividend. The change in the dividend proposal is a precautionary measure in light of the prevailing uncertainties for economic development in our markets.
Based on this, the Board proposes to adjust the dividend proposal by withdrawing the distribution of excess capital of NOK 5.00 per share. The dividend proposal of NOK 7.25 per share, based on the annual profit after tax, is maintained as proposed earlier.
All financial targets remain unchanged, and the amendment does not entail any change in the Group dividend policy.
Consequently, the Board proposes a dividend of NOK 7.25 per share for 2019, based on the year's profit after tax. Dividend will be distributed to shareholders who own shares on 26 March 2020, the exdividend date is 27 March 2020, the record date will be 30 March 2020 and the dividend will be disbursed on 07 April 2020.
