Iofina plans capital reduction to enable future dividends

LONDON - Iofina plc, a company specializing in the extraction and production of iodine as well as the manufacture of specialty chemicals, has announced that it will hold its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Monday, June 9, 2025. The meeting, scheduled for 3:00 p.m. (BST) at the offices of Canaccord Genuity in London, is set to address routine corporate matters and a proposed capital reduction.

The capital reduction, if approved by shareholders, would result in the creation of distributable reserves. This financial restructuring could potentially enable Iofina to return profits to shareholders through dividends or share repurchases, depending on the company’s future financial performance and in accordance with the Companies Act 2006.

However, Iofina has clarified that while the capital reduction is designed to provide the company with more flexibility for potential profit distribution, there is no current plan or commitment to declare dividends or buy back shares immediately. The proposal is subject to both shareholder approval at the AGM and subsequent court approval.

Details concerning the capital reduction, including its timetable and the actions required of shareholders, are outlined in the circular accompanying the AGM notice. Shareholders will receive this circular by mail, and it will also be accessible on Iofina’s website.

This strategic move reflects Iofina’s intent to strengthen its financial position for future opportunities. The company’s management has emphasized that the proposal is purely a preparatory step, positioning Iofina to potentially reward shareholders when it is financially viable to do so.
