We recommended a dividend payment at the level of our record dividend for 2020, which was USD 0.30 per share. The current situation in Ukraine and Russia is difficult for all companies that have exposure to the countries involved. As we have said many times, we are prepared for conflict and secured, but we must also take into account difficult scenarios. We are also planning investments that will diversify our business, which will involve additional capital expenditure.” 

Costas Tziamalis, added: “We are constantly observing the events following Russia’s invasion in Ukraine and the sanctions imposed on Russia, which, as a company, registered in the EU and based in Cyprus, we will comply with 100%. Ukraine and Russia are important markets for us, so we decided to wait with the official announcement of the forecast until the situation in these markets is clearer and give us a better visibility on the overall situation.”
