ABN AMRO announces decisions of Annual General Meeting
ABN AMRO Group N.V. (ABN AMRO) held its Annual General Meeting (the General
Meeting) today.
At the General Meeting 90.48% of the total issued capital and an equal amount of
voting rights was represented.
The General Meeting adopted the annual financial statements for 2016. It also
discharged each member of the Managing Board and the Supervisory Board in office
during the financial year for the performance of his or her duties during 2016.
The General Meeting approved the proposed final dividend for 2016 of EUR 414
million, or EUR 0.44 per share. Together with the interim cash dividend of EUR
376 million as paid in September 2016, this brings the total dividend over the
financial year 2016 to EUR 790 million, or EUR 0.84 per share, and the payout
ratio to 45% of the reported profit. The ex-dividend date is 1 June 2017 and the
dividend payment date is 23 June 2017.
The General Meeting also approved the re-appointment of Ms Annemieke Roobeek as
Supervisory Board member until a new member has been appointed.
The General Meeting authorised the Executive Board for a period of 18 months to
issue, subject to the approval of the Supervisory Board, ordinary shares and to
grant rights to subscribe for such ordinary shares up to a maximum of 10% of ABN
AMRO Group's issued share capital. Furthermore, the General Meeting authorised
the Executive Board for a period of 18 months to restrict or exclude, subject to
the approval of the Supervisory Board, the pre-emptive rights accruing to
shareholders in connection with ordinary share issuances and to acquire fully
paid up ordinary shares in its own share capital or Depositary Receipts, on the
stock exchange or through other means up to a maximum of 10% of the issued share
capital of ABN AMRO Group.
Finally, the General Meeting has been informed that the Supervisory Board
intends to extend Mr. Kees van Dijkhuizen's term of office as an Executive Board
member and to re-appoint him as such effective today. His term as an Executive
Board member will be aligned with his term as CEO of ABN AMRO and will expire
upon the closing of the general meeting in 2020.
