The meeting agenda consisted of regular AGM business. The meeting approved the motion of the Board of Directors to pay shareholders a dividend amounting to ISK 1.2 per share for the accounting year 2015 or around ISK 28.5 billion. Payment of the dividend is to be made in two equal distributions, with the former date of payment 20 April 2016 and the latter 21 September 2016. The dividend payment is equivalent to around 80% of the bank's 2015 profit. The AGM agreed to authorise Landsbankinn hf. to acquire up to 10% of the nominal value of the bank's share capital. The minimum and maximum amounts the bank is authorised to pay for each share shall be equivalent to its book value, i.e. ratio of shareholder equity to share capital, as disclosed in the most recent annual or interim financial statements published before the purchase of own shares takes place. Disposition of own shares purchased by Landsbankinn based on this authorisation is subject to approval by a shareholders' meeting. A similar authorisation was approved at the bank's AGM. The Remuneration Policy and consideration paid to directors remains unchanged from that of the previous year. The meeting entrusted the Board of Directors to add to its protocols provisions on the competitive independence of Landsbankinn hf. towards other state-owned commercial banks. As Birgir Björn Sigurjónsson withdrew his candidacy as director of Landsbankinn hf., the election of the bank's Board of Directors was postponed. The Board of Directors will be elected at a supplementary meeting to be held at Austurstræti 11 in Reykjavík on Friday, 22 April this year, at 1:00 pm.
