This decision was made by the shareholders of the factory. In total, 50% of the profit will be allocated for dividend payments. At the same time, the dividends will amount to 14 lei per 1 share and will be paid from May 26.
Last year, the shareholders of the Bucuria factory decided to allocate almost 25 million lei (49.99% of its net profit for the previous year) for dividends. But the dividends were higher – 15 lei per 1 share.
It should be noted that Bucuria is the largest confectionery factory in Moldova, which started its activity in 1946. The company produces more than 250 items of confectionery products. It produces an average of 37 tons of sweet products daily.
The enterprise is controlled by the Russian company Trade House Valday, which owned 66.46% of its shares, and another large stake is held by Legenda Invest – 12.67%.
In September 2019, official information emerged that the 66.46% stake in Bucuria was sold for 24.47 million lei (about 1.3 million euros at the time). Specifically, 1094227 shares (66.46%) of Bucuria with a nominal value of 10 lei each were sold for 24 million 474 thousand lei. However, information about the new owners of Bucuria has not been made public so far. This information is also not available on the company’s website.
