Subject: Recommendation of the Supervisory Board regarding the non-payment of dividends
for year 2020
The Management Board of Globe Trade Centre S.A. (“the Company”) reports that on 22 March 2021
the Supervisory Board of the Company, following the recommendation of the Management Board hereby
issued a positive opinion on the Management Board’s proposal to deviate from published dividend policy
(dividend policy published on 20 March 2017) and not to pay the dividend.
The Management Board recommendation is based on the continuing uncertainty regarding
consequences of the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and intentions of the
Management Board regarding the growth of the Company through the acquisitions and development.
This recommendation is issued despite good operating performance achieved by the Company as
measured by the FFO (funds from operations) in the financial year ended 31 December 2020 and the
healthy financial and liquidity positions. The Management Board believes that it is in the interest of the
Company and its shareholders to retain cash at the Company, which will allow the Company to maintain
a strong capital and cash position to allow prevent any potential Covid-19 impact as well as allow for
future growth through acquisitions and development.
The final decision regarding the payment of dividends for the year ended 31 December 2020 will be
made by the general meeting of the Company.
