Resolutions at the extraordinary general meeting in Volati AB (publ)
At the extraordinary general meeting in Volati AB (publ) held on 2 February 2021 it was resolved to approve the board of directors’ proposal of a dividend of SEK 10.00 per ordinary share with record date 12 February 2021. The general meeting also resolved on a total preference share dividend of SEK 30.80 per preference share with record date 5 February 2021.
Dividends
The board of directors resolved before the annual general meeting on 25 June 2020 to withdraw the intended dividend proposal which was communicated in the company’s year-end report, published on 20 February 2020, due to current market instability caused by the coronavirus.
In recent months the market uncertainty has decreased and though there is still reason to be cautious, the board has, after an overall assessment and given the company's continued strong position regarding both equity and liquidity, assessed that there are preconditions for a dividend distribution to the preference shares in accordance with the articles of association as well as extra dividend distribution to ordinary shares.
The general meeting resolved on an extra dividend of SEK 10.00 per ordinary share with record date 12 February 2021 (last day of trading with right to dividend is 10 February 2021). Furthermore, the general meeting resolved on a total preference share dividend of SEK 30.80 per preference share, including the outstanding amount of SEK 20.80, in accordance with the provisions of the articles of association. Proposed record date for the preference share dividend is 5 February 2021 (last day of trading with right to dividend is 3 February 2021).
