Dividend

SalMar intends to provide shareholders with a competitive return on invested capital, taking into consideration the company’s risk profile. Returns will be achieved through a combination of positive share price development and the payment of a dividend.

The company plans to pay out surplus liquidity (funds not necessary for the company’s day-to-day operation) in the form of a dividend or by means of a capital reduction with distribution to the shareholders. The company will at all times consider whether the available liquidity should be used for new investments or the repayment of debt instead of being paid out as dividend.

Subject to the approval of the Annual General Meeting, it is intended that a dividend be paid annually. The company will also consider purchase of own shares within the authorization given by the Annual General Meeting.
