DIVIDENDS – DIVIDEND SUPPLEMENT
It is the Group’s policy to ensure that its shareholders are given a fair return
on the capital they invest in the Group. The Board of Directors aims to ensure
regular and continuous growth in dividend payments.
A 10% dividend supplement, rounded down to the nearest even number
of euro cents, will be paid in 2011 to long-term shareholders in respect
of shares held by the same shareholder in the nominal register since at
least 31 December 2008 and still held on ex-dividend date. This dividend
supplement is limited to a number of shares which may not exceed 0.5% of
share capital for any single shareholder.
The term of dividend limitation is five years, as from the payment date. After
this time, unclaimed dividends are paid over to the state.
