The Board proposes a dividend of SEK 1.80 per share (SEK 360,000,000 in total) and that the record date for dividend shall be Friday 4 October 2019.

According to the annual report for the financial year 2018, the company's unrestricted equity (available profit and unrestricted reserves) pursuant to Ch. 17 Sec. 3 paragraph 1 of the Swedish Companies Act amounts to SEK 2,599,151,325. The Annual General Meeting 2019 resolved on a dividend distribution of SEK 390,000,000 to the shareholders, meaning that SEK 2,209,151,325 of the available profit remains available.

The company has the last years applied half-yearly dividends. The proposal is in line with the company’s dividend policy, which includes that the company distributes at least 50 per cent of the annual consolidated net profit over the medium term.

The proposed dividend alone is equal to approximately 31 percent of 2018 Group Profit, and together with the dividend distribution resolved at the Annual General Meeting 2019 it is equal to approximately 66 percent of 2018’s Group Profit.
