Dividend information
Umicore's policy is to pay whenever possible an annual dividend that is steady or gradually increasing.
On 5 August 2010, the Board of Directors decided to institute an interim dividend payment. The interim dividend will correspond to half of the total dividend paid for the prior year. The difference between the interim dividend and the total dividend for the year (as proposed by the Board and subject to approval by the shareholders) will be paid out after the AGM.
On Tuesday 24 April 2012, the Ordinary General Meeting approved the payment of a gross dividend of EUR 1.00 per new share (ISIN BE0003884047). Taking into account the gross interim dividend of EUR 0.40 paid in September 2011, a balance gross amount of EUR 0.60, representing a dividend of EUR 0.45 net of withholding tax, will be paid on 3 May 2012. This amount will increase to EUR 0.474 in case the new share is matched with the corresponding "VVPR strip”.
For each tenth of old shares (ISIN BE0003628039) still in circulation, the gross dividend per tenth of old share amounts to EUR 0.30, on presentation of coupon no 23.
Articles 35 to 38 of the program law of July 9, 2004 have modified the reduced 21 % withholding tax regime for coupons presented at the same time as a VVPR-strip. The payment period at 21 % is extended to three years from the year in which the dividend is attributed – i.e. until December 31, 2014 for dividends granted in 2012.
The System Paying Agent designated for the payment of the 2011 dividend is :
KBC Bank
Havenlaan, 2
1080 Brussel
We remind you that since the division of the Umicore ordinary share, two tenths of old share entitles to one new share.

- On March 26, 1999, the VVPR shares became ordinary shares following the issue of VVPR strips against presentation of coupon No. 5 attached to the VVPR shares. Coupon No. 5 attached to the ordinary shares was declared void. Consequently, no dividend was paid against presentation of coupon No. 5.
- On November 7, 2003, the Board of Directors decided to increase the capital of the company by the issuance of up to 2,400,000 new shares with VVPR strips (= Priority Tranche). Additionally, the Board decided to grand to the Joint Global Coordinators and Bookrunners an Over-allotment to subscribe for up to 400,000 new additional shares with VVPR strips (= Free Tranche). The right to subscribe to the Priority Tranche was represented by coupon No. 11. This coupon was declared null and void at the end of the bookbuilding and subscription period. - On April 28, 2005, Umicore was partially split into Umicore and Cumerio (a new company, also quoted at Euronext stock exchange). 1 coupon 14 attached to the Umicore share gives the right to 1 share of Cumerio. |
