On 21 March 2025, Nordic Paper announced the board of directors' proposal ahead of the annual general meeting that no dividend should be distributed for the financial year 2024. It was also communicated that the board of directors intended to review the feasibility of a potential extraordinary dividend once a long-term financing for Nordic Paper would be in place, and that any such dividend would be decided at an extraordinary general meeting.

On 20 June 2025, Nordic Paper announced that a new long-term financing agreement has been entered into. In light of this, the board of directors of Nordic Paper has today decided to propose that an extraordinary dividend of SEK 12 per share, corresponding to a total amount of approximately SEK 803 million, be paid to the shareholders of Nordic Paper. A notice to an extraordinary general meeting to resolve on the proposed dividend will be issued separately. The extraordinary general meeting will be held on 16 July 2025.

"We are pleased that the company has now secured its permanent financing with long-term maturities. On that basis, the board of directors of Nordic Paper now proposes this extraordinary dividend, whilst leaving capacity for the company's ambitious ongoing investments", says Tim Stubbs, chairman of the board of directors.

The last day for trading in the Nordic Paper share with rights to the proposed dividend is 16 July 2025 and the record date for the proposed dividend is 18 July 2025.
