The board of Tethys Oil proposes distribution to the shareholders of SEK 3.00 per share
The board of directors in Tethys Oil proposes to the annual general
meeting 2015 a total distribution of SEK 3.00 per share, equal to MSEK
106, be paid for the 2014 fiscal year. The distribution is proposed to
be made by a cash dividend of SEK 1.00 per share and by redemption of
shares of SEK 2.00 per share.
Tethys Oil has generated significant cash flows in recent years and the
group’s financial position is strong. It is therefore the view of the
board that there is room for cash distribution to the shareholders.
The board of directors has resolved to propose to the annual general
meeting a cash dividend of SEK 1.00 per share and a mandatory share
redemption procedure, whereby every share is split into one ordinary
share and one redemption share. The redemption share is then
automatically redeemed at SEK 2.00 per share. This corresponds to a
total distribution to shareholders of SEK 3.00 per share amounting to
SEK 105,575,070.
The dividend and share redemption are subject to approval at the annual
general meeting 2015, which will be held on 13 May 2015. Further
information regarding the board’s proposal will be presented in the
notice and the documents for the annual general meeting.
