EPP N.V. announced that given the unprecedented and uncertain impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic the board has decided it is prudent to refrain from paying a dividend during the year. It believes it is in the best interests of the company and all its stakeholders to preserve EPP's financial liquidity as the current environment continues to stabilise. Future dividend payments will take into consideration the stability of the retail environment, progress made on disposals, refinancing of EPP's upcoming debt and overall capital structure. The board will continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on the company's operations and its financial position and will provide updates on material impacts to the business.
