Saudi Ground Services Co.'s (SGS) shareholders will vote on the board's recommendation on withholding dividend for H2 2019 during the company's ordinary general meeting slated for June 18, 2020, the company said in a bourse statement.

 

The board's proposal aimed at boosting the company's financial position, cash balance and sustainability during 2020, amid the air traffic slowdown resulting from the Kingdom's precautionary measures to curb the COVID-19 outbreak.

 

Shareholders will also vote on authorizing the board to pay interim dividend on a semi-annual or a quarterly basis.

 

SGS's board of directors recommended on March 19 a dividend freeze for H2 2019 as a precautionary measure on the pandemic outbreak.

 

SGS paid cash dividend at SAR 1 a share for H1 2019.
