[1] Dividend :
The meeting declared a gross dividend of EUR 0.08 per Ageas Share for the
financial year 2011.
The Ageas Share represents one share in each of the two parent companies, ageas
SA/NV and ageas N.V. Shareholders can thereby opt to receive the dividend from
ageas SA/NV, 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:
30 April 2012 - Ex-dividend date - Start of dividend election period
21 May 2012 - End of dividend election period
31 May 2012 - Payment of 2011 dividend (coupon no. 45).
The final gross dividend paid out by ageas SA/NV in Belgium will amount to EUR
0.08 per Ageas Share. The 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. 45 from the VVPR strip will be subject to Belgian
withholding tax of only 21%, so net dividend of EUR 0.0632 per share will be
paid on those shares. However, an additional tax of 4% is foreseen on interests
and dividends (on stocks with VVPR strips) amounting to more than 20.020 euro
per Belgian resident individual.
The final gross dividend paid out by ageas N.V. in the Netherlands will amount
to EUR 0.08 per Ageas Share. The final net dividend will amount to EUR 0.068,
being gross dividend less Dutch dividend withholding tax of 15% in principle.
