In order to reduce the risk of coronavirus spread (covid 19), and in line with
recommendations from the authorities, shareholders in Norway Royal Salmon ASA
are asked not to attend this year’s Annual Meeting in person. Shareholders will
be able to exercise their shareholders rights by using the power of attorney
form.
The board of directors proposes a distribution of dividend for 2020 of NOK 3.00
per share, by the way of a cash distribution of NOK 1.00 per share and
distribution of shares in the Company from the Company’s treasury shares.
The number of shares for distribution in total and per outstanding share will be
decided based on the shares’ volume weighted average price on the Oslo Stock
Exchange five trading days before the general meeting, and will be announced
before the day of the annual general meeting. The last day of the valuation
period will, due to practical reasons, be 21 May 2021.
Fractional shares will not be distributed. The number of shares each shareholder
registered in the VPS will receive, will be rounded up to the nearest number of
whole shares.
The Company generally does not seek to determine, nor comment on, the tax
position of its individual shareholders. The Company will, however, take the
position that the distribution of shares does not constitute a distribution of
dividends for Norwegian tax law purposes. Accordingly, the Company will not
withhold any withholding tax for its non-Norwegian shareholders. Norwegian
shareholders’ cost price for the shares being distributed is assumed to be zero;
however, the Company assumes that the tax authorities will conduct a
proportionate adjustment of the cost price for each individual shareholder’s
aggregate shareholding.
Subject to the resolution being passed by the annual general meeting, the shares
will be traded exclusive the right to dividends as of 28 May 2021. The dividends
will be paid and the shares will be transferred on or around 7 June 2021.
The annual report and accounts for 2020 were published through a stock exchange
release on 26 April 2021 and are available on the Company’s website.
