Dividend payout

The Board of Directors of the company has adopted a dividend policy pursuant to which the company aims to distribute a stable and over time increasing dividend with a payout of at least 50 percent of net profit, in total, on a biannual basis.

The Board of Directors of the company estimates annually the balance between dividends to be distributed and funds to be used for Orthex’s growth and based on this assessment, makes a proposal on the amount of dividends to be distributed, which may for any single year differ significantly from the target level set in the dividend policy.

As proposed by the Board of Directors, the Annual General Meeting held on 9 April 2024 decided that for the financial year ended on 31 December 2023 shareholders be paid a dividend of EUR 0.21 per share totalling approximately EUR 3.7 million in two instalments as follows:
