“Our goal is to maximise the return to shareholders by increasing both the value of their shares and the dividend we pay. The company´s solid financial position and good prospects mean that the board now wants to introduce a more active dividend policy. It is accordingly proposing to pay dividend twice a year rather than once”, says CEO Baard Schumann.

Selvaag Boligs goal is to pay a dividend of up to 50 per cent of its net profit. The board of Selvaag Bolig ASA has proposed a payment of NOK 1.20 per share for 2014, corresponding to 44 per cent of the net profit.
