The Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of J.W. Construction Holding S.A. made a decision on allocation of profit for 2008. The amount of more than PLN 102 million will be allocated in whole to the supplementary capital of the Company and in consequence to fund its further development.
The Management Board proposed not to pay out the dividend from profit in 2008. The means will be used to carry out works related to the preparation of new investment projects and continuation of the current ones. Due to market conditions retaining cash in the form of supplementary capital is justified – comments Małgorzata Szwarc-Sroka, Director of Economic Department, J.W. Construction Holding S.A.
The recommendation of the Company’s Management Board was approved by the Supervisory Board. The decision to implement the recommendation was made by means of a resolution of the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of 24 June 2009.
