, the world’s second largest movie theater business, has decided to suspend payments of dividends to its stockholders. The freeze on payments applies to the 2019 fourth quarter dividend of 4.25c per share and upcoming 2020 quarterly dividends.
In addition, the executive directors have “voluntarily agreed to defer payment of their full salaries and any bonuses to which they are entitled,” according to a company statement. The non-executive directors will defer their fees.

In its statement, the company added: “With very few exceptions, the good relationships we have built up over the years have been supportive and understanding of our efforts and, together with us, our industry partners look forward to the time when we shall again be able to open our doors and provide entertainment and pleasure to our customers.”
