Proposed resolution on the distribution of profit
A dividend for the 2009 financial year of SEK 2.75 per share is proposed, giving a total dividend of SEK 72 M.
It is proposed that the dividend should be paid out by VPC AB following the Annual Meeting on May 6, 2009.
The Company’s shareholders’ equity as at December 31, 2008 stood at SEK 713 M, of which unrestricted equity totalled SEK 353 M. The equity/assets ratio as at December 31, 2008 was 63%, with liquid funds of SEK 53 M. Following the proposed dividend payment, shareholders’ equity will be SEK 641 M (equity/assets ratio 60%).
The Group’s shareholders’ equity as at December 31, 2008 stood at SEK 1.058 M. The equity/assets ratio as at December 31, 2008 was 50%, with liquid funds of SEK 168 M. Following the proposed dividend payment, shareholders’ equity will be SEK 986 M (equity/assets ratio 48%).
No events of note have occurred since the balance sheet date, December 31, 2008.
The proposed dividend is, in the view of the Board of Directors, in line with the principle of prudence with respect to the demands that the type and size of operations and the risks associated with them place on shareholders’ equity and the Company’s capital requirements, liquidity and financial position.
