Finnlines Plc Stock Exchange Release 15 February 2007
SUPPLEMENT TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT BULLETIN 2006
The Board of Directors of Finnlines Plc has in its
release noted that according to the Finnish Companies
Act, shareholders who hold at least 1/10 of all shares
may request at the General Meeting of Shareholders that a
minimum dividend be paid in accordance with the
prerequisites prescribed by law. The minimum dividend
shall be at least one half of the profits of the
financial period, less the amounts not to be distributed
under the articles of association. However, the amount
shall be no more than is possible to distribute without
consent of creditors and no more than eight per cent of
the companys shareholders equity. The possible
distributions of profits during the financial period and
before the General Meeting of Shareholders shall be
subtracted from the amount to be distributed.
The Financial Statement Bulletin 2006, which was
published on 14 February 2007 does not include all
information needed to calculate the minimum dividend
and Finnlines therefore completes the information as follows:
Finnlines Plc's (the parent company) profit for
2006 was EUR 55,241,951.30. The shareholders' equity of
the parent company was EUR 215,567,032.
The minimum dividend calculated according to the
regulations is EUR 0.43/share.
The Board of Directors of Finnlines Plc will propose
to the Annual General Meeting that the dividend would be
kept at the previous year's level and would be EUR
0.30/share, because of the ongoing sizeable investment
program of the company.
