Wincor Nixdorf remains committed to the existing dividend policy: as regards the dividend for fiscal 2008/2009, profit for the period (Glossary) before profit charges arising from the carve-out (Glossary) in the amount of €117,135k will again form the basis for dividend calculations. The aim is to distribute around 50% of this amount to shareholders in the form of a dividend.
For the reporting period, this corresponds to a dividend of €1.85 per qualifying share, a decrease of 13% on the dividend of €2.13 paid out in the preceding year.
As of September 30, 2009, the consolidated profit of Wincor Nixdorf AG amounted to €188,749k. A dividend of €1.85 per qualifying share will be proposed to the Supervisory Board. This corresponded to a total distribution of €58,578k on the date on which the Group financial statements were released by the Board of Directors. The remaining amount will be carried forward. The dividend will be paid out on January 26, 2010, subject to the approval of the AGM.
The amount of €67,444k (€2.13 per share) was distributed in fiscal 2008/2009 to Wincor Nixdorf AG equity holders during the year under review.
