LONDON, March 16, 2020 -- The Board of Directors of Stolt-Nielsen
Limited (Oslo Børs: SNI), acting in response to uncertainties
created by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, today voted to withdraw its
previously announced recommendation of a final dividend for 2019 of
$0.25 per Common Share, which was to be voted on at the Company's Annual
General Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for April 16, 2020 in Bermuda.
Commenting on the decision, Niels G. Stolt-Nielsen, Chief Executive
Officer, said, "Our earlier decision to recommend a final dividend for
2019, as announced on February 24, 2020, underscored the fundamentally
solid position of the Company, which at the end of the first quarter of
2020 had over $500 million in available liquidity, and an increasingly
promising market outlook for chemical tankers. However, while the
coronavirus pandemic has had a modest impact on our markets to date, we
believe this precautionary measure to cancel the final dividend for 2019
is a financially prudent decision, given current external
circumstances."
