NoHo Partners Plc’s Board of Directors cancels its profit distribution proposal
Due to the fast-changing coronavirus pandemic and the general financial uncertainty it causes, NoHo Partners Plc’s Board of Directors has today decided to cancel the profit distribution proposal of EUR 0.40 per share published in the financial statements release 2019. In addition, the company is also cancelling the additional dividend of EUR 0.15 per share published in the same context.

The company announced previously (13 March 2020) that the Board of Directors of the company has decided to change the profit distribution proposal provided in connection with the financial statements release 2019 with regard to the additional dividend so that the EUR 0.15 additional dividend will not be paid in May, but the Board of Directors will be authorised to decide on the payment of an additional dividend of a maximum of EUR 0.15 at a later stage. The authorisation would be valid until the following Annual General Meeting.
The company is postponing the Annual General Meeting that was planned for 22 April 2020 and will give notice of the Annual General Meeting at a later time. Postponing the Annual General Meeting was announced today via a separate stock exchange release.
