Heavitree Brewery PLC announced that the Board is no longer recommending a final dividend for the year ended October 31, 2019, and therefore it intends to withdraw Resolution number 2 as set out in the Notice of Annual General Meeting dated March 10, 2020 relating to the approval of a proposed final dividend of 4.25 pence per Ordinary and 'A' Limited Voting Ordinary Share at its forthcoming Annual General Meeting ("AGM").

The Board will consider paying a second interim dividend (in lieu of the final dividend) once there is clear visibility on the effects of COVID-19 on the company's business.
