Dividend
The Executive and Supervisory Boards propose that the General Meeting of Shareholders resolves payment
of a basic dividend for the financial year 2007 of € 2.00 per share. Moreover, the proposal was
made of paying an additional bonus of € 1.00 owing to the exceptionally good results and due to the
fact that it is the 150th anniversary of the founding of the company as Aktiengesellschaft Ilseder Hütte.
Our company, which relocated its core operations to Salzgitter in 1970, was founded as one of the
oldest German stock corporations on September 6, 1858, in Peine.
Based on the nominal share capital of € 161.6 million, the proposed payment comes to € 189.7
million.
