“Our goal is to provide shareholders with a competitive return over time through a combination of rising value for the company’s shares and payment of dividend,” says Benedicte Bakke Agerup, CFO at Wilh. Wilhelmsen ASA.
Based on the group’s underlying performance in 2011, the extraordinary general meeting endorsed the board of directors’ proposal of paying a second dividend amounting to NOK 0.50 per share.
“Our objective is to have a yearly dividend paid out semi-annually,” says Agerup.
Following the annual general meeting held on 28 April 2011, Wilh. Wilhelmsen ASA paid NOK 0.50 per share. The total amount of dividend paid in 2011 is thereby NOK 1.0 per share.
