Aviva PLC, Direct Line Insurance Group PLC and RSA Insurance
Group PLC said Wednesday that their boards have decided to withdraw
their final dividends due to the coronavirus.
The London-listed insurance companies all said that this
decision has been made following instructions from regulators such
as the Financial Conduct Authority.
Aviva said that it expects to reconsider any distributions to
ordinary shareholders in the fourth quarter of 2020, while Direct
Line said that it would review them alongside its first-half
earnings.
Aviva had declared a final dividend of 30.9 pence (37.9 cents) a
share, RSA proposed a 23.1 pence dividend and Direct Line a 21.6
pence dividend.
All of them also said that they remain in a strong capital
position and that their boards thought the most prudent thing to do
was to suspend dividend payments.
