The original proposal for distribution of funds amounted to EUR 0.95 per share.The Board proposes that the profit for the financial year ended 31 December 2019 is carried forward to the retained earnings and that an equity repayment of EUR 0.61 per share from the reserve for invested unrestricted shareholders’ equity be distributed (totalling EUR 14 644 307.21 based on the company’s registered total number of shares at the time of the proposal); the amount corresponds to half of the profit for the financial period. The equity repayment from the reserve for invested unrestricted shareholders’ equity will be paid to a shareholder registered in the company’s shareholder register kept by Euroclear Finland Ltd on the payment record date.Additionally, the Board of Directors also proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorises the Board, at its discretion, to resolve the distribution of funds to shareholders as equity repayment from the reserve for invested unrestricted equity up to a maximum of EUR 0.34 per share (totalling EUR 8 162 400.74 based on the company’s registered total number of shares at the time of the proposal). Funds would be distributed at a later stage when it is possible to make a more reliable estimate on the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on Asiakastieto Group’s business and liquidity. The authorisation is proposed to remain in effect until the start of the subsequent Annual General Meeting, but not past 30 June 2021. The Board may also decide not to use this authorisation.
