Dividend Policy
The Board of Directors’ ambition is to maintain stable dividends, with a high pay-out ratio. This policy means that dividends shall amount to 50 per cent of profit for calculating dividends. When judging the amount of dividends, consideration shall be given to the company's investment need, capital structure and financial position otherwise.
For the financial year 2009, the Board proposed dividends of SEK 1.50 per share, equivalent to a dividend yield of 7.6 per cent in terms of the closing price at year-end 2009, which proposal was also decided at the annual meeting.
