Bent Oustad, CEO, says about the quarter:

"It is very satisfying to see that the company’s underlying operations are good. Renewed confidence from our large tenants in renegotiations confirms that our work is valued and that our properties are attractive and competitive.

Until today, the profit resulting from Nordr’s good operational performance has been used to repay existing debts in the group. Therefore, we are very pleased that Nordr now has a capital structure that allows the payment of dividends to the owners. Our share in the company is 42.5%, resulting in MNOK 106 in dividends which will be paid during the 2nd quarter."
