("Atrium")
DECLARATION OF SPECIAL DIVIDEND
Ad hoc announcement - Jersey, X June 2017. Atrium European Real Estate Limited
(VSE/ Euronext: ATRS) (the "Company" and together with its subsidiaries, the
"Group"), a leading owner, operator and redeveloper of shopping centres and
retail real estate in Central and Eastern Europe, is pleased to announce that
its Board of Directors has approved the payment of a special dividend (the
"Special Dividend") of EUR0.14 per ordinary share, representing an aggregate
return to shareholders of the Company of approx. EUR52.8 million.
The payment of the Special Dividend reflects the Board's continuing confidence
in the Group's prospects, strong cash position and low leverage. Following the
payment of the Special Dividend the Company retains adequate liquidity and
financial flexibility to complete its current anticipated redevelopment and
asset improvement programme and to make selective acquisitions, should they
arise.
The Special Dividend will be paid (as a capital repayment) on 30 June 2017 to
shareholders on the register as at 23 June 2017, with an ex-dividend date of 22
June 2017, at the same time as and in addition to the regular quarterly
dividend.
The final payments of the 2017 regular dividend are scheduled to be paid in
September and December this year, as approved in November 2016. As usual, the
terms of the regular annual dividend for 2018 will be reviewed by the Board in
November 2017 and announced with the Company's third quarter trading update.
