ESPI 16/2020 Change in the date of publication of annual reports for 2019

The Management Board of IMS S.A. informs about the change of the date of publication of the separate annual report for 2019 and consolidated annual report for 2019. Both reports will be published on 8 May 2020, not as the Company informed on 29 April 2020. (according to current report no. 13/2020 of 24 March 2020). Change of the date of the publication of the reports results from the high involvement of the financial department of IMS S.A. in developing tools to support IMS Group companies in connection with the coronavirus pandemic.

At the same time, the Management Board of IMS S.A. informs that the final financial results for 2019 have not changed significantly in relation to the estimates for 2019 published on 10 February this year in current report no. 6/2020 (the differences are not greater than +/- PLN 0.1 million).

Detailed legal basis: §80 section 2 of the Regulation of the Minister of Finance of 29 March 2018 on the current and periodic information and § 21 section 3 of the Regulation of the Minister of Finance on the determination of other deadlines for the fulfilment of certain reporting and information obligations of 7 April 2020. (Journal of Laws of 2020, item 622 in connection).

ESPI 15/2020 Information on dividend policy

Management Board of IMS S.A. (“Company”, “Issuer”) announces the suspension of the Company’s dividend policy in relation to 2019 (i.e. the dividend paid in 2020).
The suspension of the applied dividend policy results from a widespread coronavirus pandemic and its impact on the Issuer’s activity (the Issuer informed about it in current reports no. 12/2020 and 14/2020). Thus, the Management Board revokes its recommendation concerning the payment of dividend for 2019 published in Current Report No. 6/2020.
The Management Board will inform the Ordinary General Meeting (“OGM”) on the date of convening the OGM whether and, if so, in what amount the Management Board will recommend the payment of dividend for 2019. The decision will depend on the current situation related to the coronavirus pandemic and the predictions concerning the economic situation in the future.
