DIVIDEND GROWTH<br />

The dividend policy of <strong>Groupe</strong> <strong>SEB</strong> is based on <strong>the</strong> long term and<br />

aims to give you a fair return on <strong>the</strong> capital you entrust to us.<br />

The principle is to increase <strong>the</strong> dividend when trading results permit,<br />

and to hold it level if circumstances require. This year, <strong>the</strong><br />

Board of Directors is proposing to <strong>the</strong> Annual General Meeting of<br />

13 May 2008 to pay a dividend of €2.80 in respect of <strong>the</strong> 2007<br />

trading year, an increase of almost 10%.<br />

A dividend supplement equivalent to 10% of <strong>the</strong> dividend is also<br />

paid for all shares which have been held in <strong>the</strong> nominal register for<br />

more than two consecutive years.<br />

<strong>Groupe</strong> <strong>SEB</strong> undertakes to provide clear and comprehensive information to all those who<br />

are interested in <strong>the</strong> Group. For this purpose it has developed a whole array of effective<br />

communication tools accessible to all:<br />

• paper-based publications throughout <strong>the</strong> year which offer an excellent source of<br />

information and are available on demand from <strong>the</strong> Financial Communications Department.<br />

Financial Report and Reference Document, <strong>the</strong> quarterly Letter to Shareholders, and <strong>the</strong><br />
