The real estate investment company INVL Baltic Real Estate will pay dividends of EUR 1 million to shareholders for 2020, an allocation of EUR 0.12 per share. That and other decisions were adopted at the general meeting of shareholders of the company which took place today.

“Both thanks to last year’s successful exits and successful property transformations, we have proven once again that we are able to create significant growth in the value of assets and a long-term return for our investors. The company has accumulated free cash which enables it to pay a dividend higher than the EUR 0.09 envisaged in its dividend policy,” says Vytautas Bakšinskas, a member of the Investment Committee of INVL Baltic Real Estate.

The dividends will be paid out within a month after the adoption of the decision. Those persons will have a right to receive them who are shareholders of INVL Baltic Real Estate at the end of the business day on 13 May this year. Based on the share price on 28 April 2021, the dividend yield amounts to 5%.

Also approved at the meeting were procedures for the acquisition of the company’s own shares and the transfer of EUR 4.3 million from retained earnings to a reserve for the acquisition of own shares.

According to Vytautas Bakšinskas, the right to buy-back the company’s own shares will be used if the share price on the market is lower than the net asset value (NAV). That will give shareholders additional liquidity opportunities, and when INVL Baltic Real Estate acquires shares for less than the NAV, the value of the remaining shares should grow.

The maximum buy-back price per share was set at INVL Baltic Real Estate’s last published net asset value per share, and the minimum at EUR 1.45. Regarding the maximum number of shares that may be acquired, the total own shares held by INVL Baltic Real Estate may not exceed one-tenth of the company’s share capital.

Seeking to annul 5 088 586 ordinary registered own shares acquired by INVL Baltic Real Estate in share buy-back processes, a proposal was approved to reduce the company’s share capital from EUR 19.1 million to EUR 11.7 million by annulling own shares which the company has acquired.
