General dividend policy
We have generally pursued an earnings-oriented dividend policy since the IPO in 2006. Accordingly 30% of the Group's net earnings after deduction of special items are expected to be distributed to shareholders. We complied with this goal in 2006 and 2007 by distributing 80 Euro cents per share each year.
For fiscal year 2010 we resumed our Company’s general dividend policy by paying a dividend of €0.30 per share.
