渣打(02888.HK)撤回去年末期股息 今年不派中期息
阿思达克 04-01 09:38
渣打集团(02888.HK)公布,应审慎监管局的要求,以及由於新型肺炎疫情扩散给世界带来的前所未有的挑战,集团董事会经过慎重考虑後,决定将派发去年末期股息每股普通股20美分的建议撤回,并暂停2月28日宣布的股份回购计划。

集团并指,今年将不会产生、建议或派发普通股的中期股息,末期股息则将考虑全年的财务表现以及当时的中期前景。董事会表示,完全认同股息对集团拥有人的重要性,惟於此时暂停股东分配股息将使集团能够为个人、企业及经营所在的社区提供最大程度的支持,同时保持强大的资本比率,并为长远业务作出投资。

集团重申资本充足、杠杆率低,且对承受亏损的能力高,其资本和流动性指标仍远高於监管门槛。

董事会并已承诺确保有关2020年薪酬的决定,将考虑集团的整体表现,以及肺炎疫情扩散对集团各持份者所面临的挑战。

集团将於本月29日发布第一季度业绩公告中提供其年初至今的最新动态,以及有关应对肺炎疫情扩散的更多详细信息。

集团并表示,即日起启动一项5,000万美元的全球基金,为受肺炎感染的人士提供援助,将立即捐款2,500万美元,与其他捐款相配对,并将根据需要进一步捐款以达到总额。董事会及管理团队的所有成员将为该基金做出个人贡献。

集团亦已实施了其他几项举措,以为客户提供经济支持并保护其福祉,并为集团在全球的8.4万名员工提供支持。昨日(3月31日)集团亦宣布承诺以优惠利率向提供商品和服务的公司,提供高达10亿美元的资金,以帮助其对抗新型肺炎,并支持重新部署生产资源,以帮助应对这种流行病。(vi/k)
