Key information regarding cash dividend to be paid by Atea ASA


On 20 October 2020, the Board of Atea ASA resolved to pay a cash dividend to shareholders in Atea ASA of NOK 5.00 per share.

The resolution to pay a cash dividend is in accordance with the power of attorney granted to the Board by the General Meeting on 22 April 2020.
