The Board of Enea proposes dividend to the shareholders
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, 16 March, 2010 - Enea (NASDAQ OMX Nordic:ENEA) has not
distributed any dividends over the last years. The board now finds it reasonable
and desirable to once again distribute dividends to the shareholders based on
the establishment of increased profitability requirements, corresponding to an
operating margin of 20 per cent regarding Software and 10 per cent regarding
Consulting, a strong cash-flow and a large net-cash in combination with a solid
financial position. For the year 2009, the Board proposes a one-off distribution
of a total of 26,030,057 SEK, equal to SEK 1.50 per share, excluding the amount
that refers to the Company's holding of its own shares. In addition to this, the
Board, as previously announced, intends to propose to the annual general meeting
a continuation of the repurchase program adopted at the AGM in 2009. A total of
536,270 shares, amounting to a total of MSEK 21.8, have been repurchased during
2009.
Long-term dividend policy
The board has also decided to adopt a long-term dividend policy for 2010 and
onwards, entailing at least 30 per cent of the earnings before non-recurring
items and after standard taxation to be distributed to the shareholders.
Capital structure
In order for the Company to be able to continue to develop also through
acquisitions, the Company may need to be in a net debt position in the course of
time. For a company of Enea's disposition, where development and sale of
software is a major part of the business, maintaining a strong financial
position is essential. Due to this the board will at all times take the
Company's long-term financial needs into account.
