The Tele2 Board reinstates its previous proposal regarding extraordinary dividend
Stockholm – The Board of Directors of Tele2 (“Tele2”) (Nasdaq Stockholm: TEL2 A and TEL2 B) has decided to reinstate its previous proposal to distribute an extraordinary dividend of SEK 3.50 per share. The extraordinary dividend is subject to approval at an Extraordinary General Meeting that is expected to be held during September 2020.
Tele2’s Board decided in April 2020 to withdraw its previous proposal to the Annual General Meeting in May 2020 on distribution of an extraordinary dividend of SEK 3.50 per share, in order to postpone the decision until there is more visibility on the impact of the global pandemic.
Considering Tele2’s strong balance sheet and resilient business model that is cash generative also in volatile times, the Board has now decided to reinstate its previous proposal. The Board therefore intends to call for an Extraordinary General Meeting to approve the distribution of an extraordinary dividend of SEK 3.50 per share (in total approximately SEK 2.4 billion).
The Extraordinary General Meeting is expected to be held during September 2020 and if the distribution of the extraordinary dividend is approved it is expected to be paid out on 7 October 2020, together with the second tranche, of SEK 2.75 per share, of the ordinary dividend, which remains unchanged.
The notice to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting will be published in due course.
