ATRIUM ANNOUNCES PROPOSED SCRIP DIVIDEND PROGRAMME AND INTENTION TO HOLD AN EGM
Ad hoc announcement - Jersey, 29 May 2020. Atrium European Real Estate Limited (VSE/ Euronext: ATRS) ("Atrium" or the "Company" and together with its subsidiaries, the "Atrium Group"), a leading owner, operator and redeveloper of shopping centres and retail real estate in Central Europe, announces the introduction of a voluntary Scrip Dividend Programme. The programme will be subject to the required shareholder approval being obtained at an extraordinary general meeting.
The Board of Directors of the Company has resolved to, subject to the required shareholder approval being obtained at the EGM scheduled for Monday, 15 June 2020 ("EGM"), offer its shareholders (the "Shareholders") the option to receive each of the Q2, Q3 and Q4 2020 dividend distributions either in cash ("Cash Dividend") or in newly issued shares at a 2% discount to the reference share price ("Scrip Dividend") via a Scrip Dividend Programme (the "Programme"). The Company's dividend policy continues to be subject to quarterly review. Unless a Shareholder informs the Company that it elects to receive the Scrip Dividend, the Cash Dividend will be distributed. The quarterly dividend distribution for Q2 of 2020 is maintained at EURcents 6.75 per share. Both the Cash Dividend and Scrip Dividend shall be deemed a repayment of capital.
The implementation of the Programme will have timing implications for the scheduled dates for the Q2 2020 dividend distribution, most notably the Q2 dividend payment date is moved from 30 June 2020 to 8 July 2020.
A circular setting out further details on the election being offered to Shareholders pursuant to the Programme, which, among others, will include the election instructions and information on the reference share price, will be posted to Shareholders following the EGM, if the required shareholder approval has been obtained, and will be available on the Company's website https:// www.aere.com https://www.aere.com/.
