The positive share price performance of recent years reflects the dynamic transformation of the ProSiebenSat.1 Group from a TV company into a digital entertainment and commerce powerhouse.
We would like to involve our shareholders adequately in the Company’s success. The dividend policy therefore targets to an annual distribution of 80 % to 90 % of underlying net income from continuing operations. The Executive Board is therefore advising the Supervisory Board to propose an increased dividend of EUR 1.93 per share to the Annual General Meeting for the financial year 2017 (previous year: EUR 1.90). This corresponds to a pay-out ratio of 80.3% (previous year: 84.7%) and a dividend yield of 6.7% on the closing price of the ProSiebenSat.1 share at the end of 2017.
