Annual General Meeting in A/S Dampskibsselskabet TORM 9th April 2003
At the Annual General Meeting the following took place:
o Annual Report 2002 was approved.
o A dividend of DKK 2 per DKK 10 share (20%) as recommended by the
Board of Directors was approved.
o Mr. Rex Harrington, Director, London, U.K. was elected to the Board
of Directors and the remaining Board members were re-elected for a 4
year term.
o Chief Engineer Peder Mouridsen (elected by the employees) and Master
Lennart Arnold Johan Arrias (elected by the employees) will join the
Board of Directors after the Annual General Meeting.
o State authorized public accountants Ernst & Young were re-elected
and Deloitte & Touche elected.
o Authorisation to purchase the Company's own shares was renewed.
o Changes to the Company's Articles of Association as recommended by
the Board of Directors were approved. These alterations were
principally in respect of new accounting rules.
The Chairman, Mr. N. E. Nielsen, stated in his report that the Company's share
price rose nearly 23% during 2002 and that since January, 2003 it has risen a
further 23%. Including payment of the dividend of DKK 4 per share, the yield
in 2002 was 31%.
Mr. N. E. Nielsen furthermore informed the Annual General Meeting that TORM
has declared to the Board of Directors of Dampskibsselskabet NORDEN A/S the
possibility of discussing price level and other business issues of relevance.
TORM is today NORDEN's largest shareholder with a holding of 33.35% excluding
treasury shares as at 31st December 2002. In as much as the Board of Directors
of NORDEN has not recommended TORM's purchase price - notwithstanding the
flexibility shown by TORM - the Board of Directors of TORM will consider all
possibilities including disposal of the holding, increasing the previous offer
or maintaining a wait and see attitude.
At the Board of Directors meeting immediately following the last Annual
General Meeting, the Board of Directors then elected Mr. N. E. Nielsen as
Chairman and Mr. Christian Frigast as Vice Chairman.
Accordingly, the Board of Directors going forward is made up of the following
persons:
N. E. Nielsen (Chairman)
Christian Frigast (Vice Chairman)
Ditlev Engel
Rex Harrington
Gabriel Panayotides
Peder Mouridsen (elected by the employees)
Lennart Arnold Johan Arrias (elected by the employees).
