NN Group announces stock fraction for 2014 final dividend and repurchase of shares to neutralise stock dividend
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Shareholders of NN Group were given the option to receive the final dividend for
2014 of EUR 0.57 per ordinary share either in cash or in ordinary shares.
Shareholders who have elected to receive the dividend in shares will receive one
NN Group N.V. ordinary share for every 43.77 ordinary shares held. The stock
fraction has been based on the volume-weighted average price of EUR 24.949 for
NN Group shares on Euronext Amsterdam for the five trading days from 17 June
2015 through 23 June 2015. Any remaining stock fractions will be paid in cash
using the volume-weighted average share price of EUR 24.949. The stock and cash
dividend are approximately equal in value. If a shareholder has not made a
choice during the election period, the dividend will be paid in cash.
Approximately 27.3% of shareholders have elected to receive the dividend in
ordinary shares. Consequently, 2,114,271 new ordinary shares will be issued as
stock dividend.
NN Group will neutralise the dilutive effect of the stock dividend on earnings
per share through the repurchase of 2,114,271 ordinary shares from ING Group, at
the volume-weighted average share price of EUR 24.949 used to calculate the
stock fraction. NN Group intends to cancel all or part of the repurchased shares
in due course.
Payment of the dividend on the ordinary shares in cash, after deduction of
statutory withholding tax, if applicable, and the transfer of the new ordinary
shares and settlement of fractions in cash, as well as the repurchase of
ordinary shares from ING Group, will take place on 30 June 2015.
