ASETEK – Board of Directors Decides to Adopt Dividend Policy

October 27, 2016 – The board of directors ofAsetek has adopted a new dividend policy and intends to propose a cash dividend to theAnnual General Meeting in 2017.

The new policy ofAsetek is to distribute a dividend to its shareholders which is equal to 50% of the previous year's net income (after tax profits). When proposing the total annual dividend level, the board will take into consideration the company's growth plans, liquidity requirements and necessary financial flexibility.

The board expects to propose an initial cash dividend of approximately NOK 1 per share outstanding to theAnnual General Meeting in 2017. The expected proposal reflects the new dividend policy combined with an extraordinary dividend component due toAsetek's strong cash position as of today.

"I appreciate the board's prudent approach, ensuring that Asetek has financial strength to partner with large OEMs and flexibility for continued investments, while at the same time avoiding excess cash on the balance sheet" says Andre S. Eriksen, Chief Executive Officer.
