The Board of Directors considers applicable legal restrictions, capital expenditures requirements, financial conditions, general business conditions and contractual obligations
when assessing the company’s ability to pay dividends. The amount of dividend approved by the Annual General Meeting, shall not exceed the amount recommended by the Board of
Directors. The dividend was NOK 0.15/share for the financial year 2016, NOK 0.30/share for the financial year 2017 and NOK 0.45/share for the financial year 2018. Due to the
uncertainty associated with the Covid-19 pandemic, no dividend was paid for 2019.
Under the current uncertainty and market conditions, the Board maintains its assessment and propose for the Annual General Meeting not to pay dividend for the year 2020. The Board will assess the situation on an ongoing basis and will ask the Annual General Meeting for authorization to reconsider dividends for 2020 if the situation should return to a more predictable situation during the year.
