Yara AGM and new buy-back program
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Oslo, 7 April 2017: Yara International ASA will hold its Annual General Meeting
on Thursday 11 May at 17:00 CEST at Drammensveien 131, Oslo.
The Board proposes that the existing share buy-back program is replaced by a new
program, renewing the Board's authorization to acquire up to 5% of Yara's shares
before the next Annual General Meeting. Shares may be purchased within a price
range of NOK 10 to NOK 1,000. Any shares acquired under the proposed program
shall be subsequently cancelled, and Yara has entered into a new agreement with
the Norwegian State to redeem shares on a pro-rata basis so that the State's
ownership is unchanged.
The complete notice of the Annual General Meeting will be distributed to Yara's
registered shareholders and is also available on Yara's website:

The Board proposes that a dividend of NOK 10.00 per share is paid for the
financial year 2016. The dividend is proposed to be paid to the Company's
shareholders as of 11 May 2017 (as registered in VPS on 15 May 2017), and the
share will then trade ex-dividend from and including 12 May 2017. If the Board's
proposal is approved, the intention is to pay the dividend on 23 May 2017.
