As a result of the spread of the coronavirus and its effects on external circumstances and financial markets Peab’s Board decided to withdraw the proposals to the Annual General Meeting. The Board’s ambition is to regularly evaluate dividend capacity and depending on developments be able to make a decision on both the ordinary dividend and the right time to distribute Annehem Fastigheter. For 2018 the dividend amounted to SEK 4.20 per share, which corresponded to 59 percent of profit for the year. Total dividend distributed for 2018 amounted to SEK 1,239 million.
