NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION (IN WHOLE OR IN PART) IN, INTO OR FROM ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS OF SUCH JURISDICTION. Aroundtown's board of directors postpones dividend decision and will launch share buy-back program Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, 20 May 2020, 19:30 CEST The board of directors of Aroundtown SA (the 'Company') has resolved today to convene Aroundtown's annual general meeting of shareholders ('AGM') on June 24, 2020. In light of the current market situation and the uncertainties surrounding future macroeconomic developments as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic and international lockdown, the Board of Directors has determined that proposing a dividend distribution to the AGM is not in the Company's best interest at this point in time. The Board of Directors will continue to monitor the market situation and may, if warranted in light of changed conditions, propose a future dividend distribution and corresponding shareholders meeting. The full invitation to the AGM to be held on June 24, 2020 will be published today on the website of the Company. The Board of Directors resolved to launch a share buy-back program on the basis of the authorization granted by the general meeting of May 6, 2020, details of which will be published once the final program is determined.
