Dear Shareholders,
we invite you to approve the Company's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020. The financial year ended 31 December 2020 closed with a profit for the year of €33,997,047.
In this respect, it is recalled that the financial statements at 31 December 2020 have been examined and approved by the Board of Directors of Sanlorenzo S.p.A. in the meeting held on 16 March 2021. As disclosed on the same day, during the meeting held on 16 March 2021 the Board of Directors resolved to propose to the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting to allocate the profit for the year, amounting to €33,997,047, as follows:
- (i) €20,147 to cover losses from previous years related to the adoption of IFRS accounting standards;
- (ii) €1,698,845 to legal reserve;
- (iii) for distribution to the Shareholders a dividend equal to €0.30 gross of withholding taxes for each share outstanding on the ex-dividend date, excluding the treasury shares held by the Company at that date, to be paid on 28 April 2021, with ex dividend date 26 April 2021, and record date (date of payment authorisation for the dividend itself, pursuant to Article 83 terdecies of Italian Legislative Decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998) 27 April 2021; and
- (iv) the remaining part to the extraordinary reserve.
The amount of the proposed dividend, corresponding to a pay-out of 30% of the net profit of the Group, in accordance with the provisions of the policy on the distribution of dividends approved by the Board of Directors on 9 November 2019, which provides for a distribution of dividends in an amount between 30% and 40% of the net profit of the Group for the financial years 2020 and 2021, subject to any limitations under strategic investment plans (including any potential acquisitions and business combinations), as well as to the preservation of a sound financial structure and to compliance with covenants under outstanding credit facilities.
The Board of Directors also resolved to propose to the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting to establish a restriction on the extraordinary reserve up to a maximum amount of €8,400,000 pursuant to Article 110, paragraph 8, of Italian Law Decree no. 104 of 14 August 2020, converted into law with amendments by the Italian Law no. 126 of 13 October 2020, as a result of the re-alignment of the tax values of certain fixed assets to the higher accounting values. Such re-alignment, carried out in accordance with the tax regulation, will enable the Company to achieve a considerable tax saving spread over the depreciation period of the assets being re-aligned and given by the difference between the ordinary rate of direct taxes and the rate of the substitute tax applicable from time to time.
The resolution proposal states the amount of €8,400,000, to be considered as the maximum amount, which may be subject to possible future reductions in case of changes in applicable tax regulation and
will also progressively decrease in future financial years in relation to the depreciation charges of the assets subject to re-alignment.
In light of the foregoing, the Board of Directors submits the following proposal for resolution for your approval.
