Norway Royal Salmon: Notice to Annual General Meeting

Report this content

Attached please find the notice to the Annual General Meeting in Norway Royal Salmon ASA (the "Company"), to be held in Trondheim 31(st) May 2018. The notice will be sent to all shareholders by post no later than 8(th) May 2018.

The board of directors proposes a distribution of dividend for 2017 of NOK 5.20 per share, by the way of a cash distribution of NOK 3.90 per share and distribution of shares in the Company from the Company's treasury shares.

The number of shares for distribution in total and per outstanding share will be decided based on the shares' volume weighted average price on the Oslo Stock Exchange five trading days before the general meeting, and will be announced at the day of the annual general meeting. The last day of the valuation period will, due to practical reasons, be 25 (th) May 2018.

Fractional shares will not be distributed. The number of shares each shareholder registered in the VPS will receive will be rounded up to the nearest number of whole shares.

The Company generally does not seek to determine, nor comment on, the tax position of its individual shareholders. The Company will, however, take the position that the distribution of shares does not constitute a distribution of dividends for Norwegian tax law purposes. Accordingly, the Company will not withhold any withholding tax for its non-Norwegian shareholders. Norwegian shareholders' cost price for the shares being distributed is assumed to be zero; however, the Company assumes that the tax authorities will conduct a proportionate adjustment of the cost price for each individual shareholder's aggregate shareholding.

Subject to the resolution being passed by the annual general meeting, the shares will be traded exclusive the right to dividends as of 1 (st) June 2018. The dividends will be paid and the shares will be transferred on or around 8 (th) June 2018.

The annual report and accounts for 2017 were published through a stock exchange release on 27(th) April 2018 and are available on the Company's website.
