Dividend
At the Annual General Meeting on 9 May 2012, the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board have made a proposal to the shareholders to pay a dividend per share of € 0.70 for financial year 2011 (previous year: € 0.65). The distribution ratio based on the consolidated net profit attributable to Deutsche Post AG shareholders amounts to 72.7 %. The net dividend yield based on the year-end closing price of our shares is 5.9%. The dividend was distributed on 10 May 2012 and is tax-free for shareholders resident in Germany. For tax purposes, the distribution is considered a repayment of contributions and, in the view of the German tax authorities, serves to reduce the cost of acquiring the shares.
Our dividend policy provides for a payout of between 40% and 60% of annual net profit as dividends to our shareholders, taking into account the cash flow and continuity.
