Scandi Standard AGM Backs Dividend, New Incentive Plan and Expanded Share Buyback Mandate

Scandi Standard AB ( (SE:SCST) ) has shared an announcement.

Scandi Standard’s annual general meeting approved a dividend of SEK 3.30 per share, to be paid in two installments during 2026, and confirmed the current governance structure with the re-election of eight existing board members, the addition of Avelino Gaspar, and the continued leadership of Johan Bygge as chairman and Paulo Gaspar as vice chairman. Shareholders also backed the renewal of the auditor mandate, adopted a new long-term incentive program for up to 34 key employees, and granted the board broad authority to repurchase and transfer up to 10% of the company’s shares, aiming to optimize capital structure, support acquisitions, and secure share-based compensation obligations.

LTIP 2026, Scandi Standard’s new long-term incentive plan, largely mirrors last year’s program but adds a category for operational chiefs of home markets and ties participation to personal share investments and multi-year performance and lock-up conditions. The authorization to buy back and use treasury shares, combined with the incentive scheme and confirmed dividend policy, signals an ongoing focus on shareholder returns, management alignment, and strategic flexibility for potential M&A and capital management within the Nordic poultry sector.

The most recent analyst rating on (SE:SCST) stock is a Hold with a SEK160.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Scandi Standard AB stock, see the SE:SCST Stock Forecast page.
