Aker Carbon Capture ASA: Information Regarding Liquidation Dividend Payment

Aker Carbon Capture (AKRCY), a company focused on carbon capture technologies, has announced a liquidation dividend following a shareholder-approved decision to liquidate the company. The resolution was passed at an extraordinary general meeting held on August 5, 2025.

The company’s Board of Directors has officially sanctioned a liquidation dividend of NOK 0.141 per share, culminating in a total payout of NOK 85,198,152.738. This move, signaling a potential shift in Aker Carbon Capture’s strategic direction, raises questions about the future of the company’s carbon capture initiatives in a rapidly evolving energy landscape.

Key dates for the distribution have been set as follows: The last day to hold shares with dividend rights is October 2, 2025, with the ex-dividend date falling on October 3, 2025. Shareholders of record as of October 6, 2025, will be eligible for the dividend, and payments are expected to be processed around October 13, 2025. The dividend distribution was formally approved on September 25, 2025, in accordance with Section 16-9 of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act.

While the liquidation dividend provides a return to shareholders, industry analysts are examining the broader implications for the carbon capture market. The decision to liquidate raises questions about the viability and long-term profitability of standalone carbon capture ventures, particularly in the face of fluctuating energy prices and evolving government regulations. Some experts suggest this move could signal a consolidation trend within the sector, with larger energy companies potentially acquiring promising carbon capture technologies and integrating them into their existing operations. Others believe that Aker Carbon Capture’s technology may live on under a different corporate structure, perhaps through a spin-off or asset sale.

The future trajectory of Aker Carbon Capture’s core technology remains uncertain. Whether it finds a new home within another organization or fades from the market altogether, the liquidation dividend marks a significant turning point for the company and a potentially telling moment for the carbon capture industry as a whole. Investors will be closely watching for any signs of how Aker Carbon Capture’s intellectual property and ongoing projects may be repurposed or absorbed by other players in the energy sector.
