PTC's supervisory board suspends dividend pay-out

It is rumored that plans to pay out such a dividend were not welcomed by the board as the company wants to considerably increase its investments this year. However, Antoni Mielniczuk, the head of PTC's PR department claims that the board has nothing to say about the dividend pay-out as the decision belongs with the firm's shareholders. There is no doubt that the dividend could help some shareholders, especially Elektrim, which is desperately looking for money to continue its investment in the Pątnów-Adamów-Konin power plant. However, the supervisory board wants to analyze the investment needs of the company again, particularly those concerned with launching a UMTS network. (Puls Biznesu, p.5) E.B.
