[1] Dividend :
The meeting declared a gross dividend of EUR 0.08 per Ageas Share for the
financial year 2010.
The Ageas Share represents one share in each of the two parent companies, ageas
SA/NV and ageas N.V. Shareholders can opt to receive the dividend from ageas
SA/NV, thus from the Belgian source, or from ageas N.V., the Dutch source. They
need to make their preference known during the dividend election period.
The timetable is as follows:
2 May 2011 - Ex-dividend date - Start of dividend election period
20 May 2011 - End of dividend election period
31 May 2011 - Payment of 2010 dividend (coupon no. 44)
Final gross dividend paid out by ageas N.V. in the Netherlands will amount to
EUR 0.08 per Ageas Share. Final net dividend will amount to EUR 0.068, being
gross dividend less Dutch dividend withholding tax of 15% in principle.
Final gross dividend paid out by ageas SA/NV in Belgium will amount to EUR 0.08
per Ageas Share. Final net dividend will amount to EUR 0.06, being gross
dividend less Belgian withholding tax of 25% in principle. Any shares
accompanied by coupon no. 44 from the VVPR strip will be subject to Belgian
withholding tax of only 15%, so net dividend of EUR 0.068 per share will be paid
on those shares.
