Executive Board proposal for the use of net profit
The Executive Board and the Supervisory Board propose a
resolution on the use of net profit as follows:
The unappropriated net profit of HOCHTIEF Aktiengesell-
schaft for fiscal 2009 in the amount of EUR 105,000,000.00
will be used to pay a dividend of EUR 1.50 per eligible no-parvalue
share, and the amount of the dividend that would have
been payable on non-eligible shares, amounting to EUR
8,334,952.50 will be carried forward.
The dividend is payable on the day following the General
Shareholders’ Meeting.
The number of eligible shares may change by the date of the
General Shareholders’ Meeting. In this event, a revised proposal
for the appropriation of net profit will be submitted to the
General Shareholders’ Meeting, leaving the dividend unchanged
at EUR 1.50 per eligible no-par-value share.
