“PG Group Announces €2.75 Million Interim Dividend and Updates on Expansion Plans…”

PG Group, the operator of the PAVI and PAMA shopping malls and supermarkets in Qormi and Mosta respectively, has announced the distribution of a net interim dividend totaling €2.75 million.

The dividend—equivalent to €0.0254630 net (€0.0391738 gross) per ordinary share—will be paid on Friday, 5 December 2025, to shareholders listed on PG plc’s register of members at the Central Securities Depository of the Malta Stock Exchange as at Friday, 28 November 2025.

This payout is unchanged from the interim dividend issued in 2024.

In June, PG Group approved a €4.5 million interim dividend, which was distributed to shareholders on 11 July 2025.

In September, the Group announced plans for a new shopping mall forming part of db Group’s redevelopment of the former Institute of Tourism Studies (ITS) site overlooking St George’s Bay, on the border between St Julian’s and Pembroke. The project—set for completion in 2026—will include a PAVI-PAMA supermarket as its anchor tenant.

PG Group is an investment company with a diversified portfolio of ventures across the Maltese Islands. The company has expanded steadily in recent years and currently employs around 350 people. In addition to operating PAVI and PAMA, PG Group is also the franchisee for ZARA and ZARA Home in Sliema and Mosta.
