The Board of Administrator's policy is to propose a dividend increase to the Shareholders Meeting whenever possible and as far as possible never to reduce it.
For 30 years, the dividend has gradually increased and has never been reduced. The yearly dividend is paid as an interim dividend plus a final dividend. The interim dividend typically represents 40% (rounded) of the previous year’s total dividend. It is announced together with 3rd quarter results and paid in January. The proposed final dividend is announced in February, together with full year results and paid after the decision of the Shareholders Meeting in May.
