TSX. For shares traded on Nasdaq Stockholm, the ex-dividend date
will be June 7, 2024.
Dividends for shares trading on the TSX and the OTCQX will be
paid in Canadian dollars on June 25,
2024, based on the prevailing exchange rate at the record
date. Dividends for shares trading on Nasdaq Stockholm will be paid
on June 28, 2024 in Swedish kronor (SEK) in accordance with
Euroclear principles. To execute the payment of the dividend, a
temporary administrative cross-border transfer closure will be
applied by Euroclear from June 5, 2024, up to and
including June 10, 2024 during which period shares of the
Company cannot be transferred between TSX and Nasdaq Stockholm.
Payments to shareholders who are not residents
of Canada will be net of any Canadian withholding taxes
that may be applicable. For further details, please visit:
