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.
The ordinary shareholders’ meeting approved the payment of a gross dividend of € 0.70 per share (ISIN BE0974320526). Taking into account the gross interim dividend corresponding to € 0.325 per new share paid in August 2017, a balance gross amount of € 0.375, representing a dividend of € 0.2625 net of withholding tax, will be paid on 3 May 2018.
The System Paying Agent designated for the payment of the 2017 dividend is:
KBC Bank
Havenlaan / Avenue du Port, 2
1080 Brussels
