In line with the company’s dividend policy, the management proposes to the shareholders the capitalization of RON 2.5 million from the profit and the distribution of cash dividends worth RON 437.500.

Consequently, the shareholders will receive, for each share held, four new SAFE shares and a cash dividend of RON 0.14.

Safetech’s shares are currently trading at RON 31.6, and the company’s market capitalization is RON 99 mln (over EUR 20 mln).
