Dividend Policy
Dividend payment is subject to the recommendation of the Executive Board of Directors and subsequent approval in the General Shareholders Meeting.
In the Investor Day that took place on the November 6th 2008, with national and international investors and analysts, the Executive Board of Directors considered that the ongoing Business Plan should allow the annual proposal to the General Meeting of an increase of the gross dividend of €0.015/share.
