COVID-19 Outbreak

During the production of the 2019 annual accounts, the Global economy has been affected by the Corona Virus (COVID-19) outbreak.

It is expected that COVID-19 may have some impact on Keylane’s business performance. The magnitude of this impact in relation to expected future performance, effects on future asset valuation or the entity’s activities in general is, at the time of this announcement, not ascertainable due to the ongoing crisis. Early assessments indicate that at Keylane we are providing business continuity and strong performance in delivering SaaS and services to our clients.
