The board of directors of Aroundtown SA (the "Company") has resolved today
to convene Aroundtown's annual general meeting of shareholders ("AGM") on
June 24, 2020. In light of the current market situation and the
uncertainties surrounding future macroeconomic developments as a result of
the Coronavirus pandemic and international lockdown, the Board of Directors
has determined that proposing a dividend distribution to the AGM is not in
the Company's best interest at this point in time. The Board of Directors
will continue to monitor the market situation and may, if warranted in light
of changed conditions, propose a future dividend distribution and
corresponding shareholders meeting.
The full invitation to the AGM to be held on June 24, 2020 will be published
today on the website of the Company.
The Board of Directors resolved to launch a share buy-back program on the
basis of the authorization granted by the general meeting of May 6, 2020,
details of which will be published once the final program is determined.
