ÖSTERSUND, Sweden, Feb. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- We are leaving an intensive year of transactions behind us. For the first six months we focused on strengthening the balance sheet by divesting non-core properties, and then for the second half of the year we concentrated on growth through acquisitions in strategic locations and cities. Net lettings amounted to SEK 10 million for the fourth quarter and have thus been positive in all quarters of 2024. The Board proposes a dividend of SEK 2.20 per share (0.0)

– Diös' strength is our local presence coupled with the size of a company that creates economies of scale in the form of expertise, good financing conditions and a solid capacity to invest. This gives us a competitive edge that few other companies in northern Sweden have, says David Carlsson, CEO.

Updated dividend policy

The Board of Directors has decided on an updated dividend policy. The Board believes that the new dividend policy creates clarity, better opportunities for profitable growth through investments and acquisitions, and higher long-term shareholder value. The new wording reads "the dividend to the shareholders shall correspond to approximately one third of the Group's annual Property management income, unless investments or the Group's financial position in general motivates otherwise"
