This equates to a total final dividend pay-out of $58 million or 60% of net profit for the year, in line with the Company’s revised policy. In addition to the above, the Board has declared a special dividend of $0.3362 per share or $38.6 million, resulting in a total dividend (which includes the final dividend and special dividend) for 2015 of $96.6 million, representing a pay-out of 100% of net profit for the 12 months ended 31 December 2015, with the same ex-dividend date of 24 March 2016, record date of 29 March 2016 and payment date of 11 May 2016. The resulting total distribution to shareholders for the full year will therefore be $0.8405 per share (FY 2014: $0.8008 per share) amounting to a payout of $96.6 million (FY 2014: $92 million). The equivalent amount stated in GBP is £66.1 million (FY 2014: £60 million). Total dividends to shareholders, including those declared in February 2016, in the three year period since flotation will be $229.6 million, which exceeds the market capitalisation at flotation of $200 million, and equates to a dividend per share of 132 pence per share (compared to the flotation price of 115 pence per share).

Sponsorships In December 2014 Plus500 announced a business partnership via a sponsorship agreement with the Spanish football club, Atlético de Madrid FC, SAD. In June 2015 the Company announced that it had become the main sponsor for the 2015/16 and 2016/17 seasons. Atlético de Madrid FC is one of the most successful clubs in Europe that plays in La Liga, one of the most popular leagues in the world, and regulary competes in the UEFA Champions League, the most prestigious club competition in Europe.
