DIVIDENDS — LOYALTY PREMIUM

Groupe SEB’s policy is to ensure that our shareholders receive fair remuneration for the capital they entrust us with. We have a consistent policy with a long-term strategy aimed at reasonably and regularly increasing our dividend when our results allow it and stabilising it when the economic and financial circumstances require it.

Moreover, the Group pays a loyalty premium for all shares registered for two consecutive fiscal years, amounting to 10% of the dividend (rounded down to the lower cent where necessary). For a given shareholder, however, this loyalty premium may not cover a number of shares exceeding 0.5% of the shareholders’ equity.

Dividends lapse after five years from the date on which they are initially paid out. After this deadline, unclaimed dividends are turned over to the State.
