Dividends

The Group has paid dividends and made other distributions to shareholders since 2013. In 2018, the Group adopted a dividend policy subject to which dividends of a minimum amount of EUR 0.05 per share would be paid if the economic performance allows it. However, due to economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing global uncertainties the Annual General Meetings of Shareholders held between 2020-2023 decided not to pay dividends for the financial years of 2020-2023. The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on 7 May 2024 adopted a resolution of paying dividends of EUR 0.06 per share for the financial year 2023.
