The Board of Directors has approved the provisional distribution of profits arising from the company’s activities in 2020, recommending that the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders endorse its recommendation to pay dividends for 2020 in the amount of ₽15 per ordinary share (taking dividends of ₽5 per ordinary share, already paid on the basis of the company’s interim results for the first nine months of 2020, into account).
