PRESS RELEASE - 29 March 2023. Limassol, Cyprus

ASBISc Enterprises Plc, a leading Value Add Distributor, developer, and provider of ICT, IoT products, solutions, and services to the markets of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA),announced that the Board of Directors of ASBISc Enterprises decided today to recommend to the upcoming Annual General Meeting of Shareholders the payment of the final dividend from profits for 2022 in the amount of USD 0.25 per share. This means that, together with the interim dividend, the amount of dividend from profits for 2022 may amount to USD 0.45 per share, i.e. it will be the highest dividend paid to shareholders in the history of ASBIS.

On December 1, 2022, the Company paid shareholders an interim dividend of USD 0.20 per share from 2022 net profit.

The dividend covers all 55,500,000 shares of the Company. The Company decided not to pay dividend out of the treasury stock. 

Serhei Kostevitch, CEO of ASBIS Group, commented: “ASBIS has been paying dividends continuously for 7 years, and we consider this is an important element of our policy of appreciating the company's shareholders. Despite the difficulties and uncertainties at the beginning of the year, we closed a really very good year, especially in terms of profitability, which is why we decided to recommend a dividend at a record high level. When determining the level of the dividend, we also took into account the investments that await us this year - further expansion of our emerging Central Asian markets, strengthening our position in Western Europe, entering the African markets and, of course, intensive development of ASBIS Robotic Solutions. I am convinced that this year will also be good for us, which will also benefit our shareholders.”
