Proposal for profit appropriation
On the proposal of the foundation, € 23,581,000 will be transferred to the reserves. An interim dividend of € 0.21 per share has already been paid in respect of 2009. The remainder is at the disposal of the General Meeting of Shareholders. It is proposed to distribute this in the form of a final dividend of € 0.31 per ordinary share.
The profit appropriation will then be as follows:
| x € 1,000 | |
| Profit in 2009 | 47,161 |
| Less: Transferred to other reserves | (7,910) |
| Less: Interim dividend paid for 2009 | (15,670) |
| At shareholders’ disposal | 23,581 |
This proposal is not reflected in the balance sheet.
