  1. Explanation of the reservation and dividend policy Additional information will be given during the General Meeting.
  2. Motion to distribute profit

Ordina has a transparent dividend policy. Ordina applies a pay-out percentage of 40-60% of its net profit under the following conditions:

  1. Solvency of at least 35% over the past reporting year;
  1. The net debt/EBITDA ratio in Q3 and Q4 of the past reporting year is less than 1.25;
  1. The expected net debt/EBITDA ratio in Q1 and Q2 of the current year is less than 1.25 after the payment of the dividend.

The basic premise of this policy is that it continues to safeguard the company's healthy balance sheet ratios. The remaining net profit is added to the general reserves and used to finance Ordina's growth agenda (with both organic and non-organic growth). In the event of any surplus cash reserves, a variable extra dividend may be considered.

The Company booked net profit of EUR 24.6 million in the year under review. Net earnings per share were EUR 0,26. It is proposed that the General Meeting approve a cash dividend payment of 15.8 eurocents per share, to be charged to the net profit for 2021.
