The Board of Directors has agreed to raise the interim dividend for the 2021 financial year by one cent to 6 euro cents per share (gross), which reflects a return to the path of sustainable dividends prior to the pandemic. Payment of this dividend will be brought forward by one month to November 30.

The decision on dividend distribution is based on a thorough, reflective analysis of the company’s situation. It does not compromise either future solvency or the protection of the interests of insurance policyholders and insured persons, and it was made in the context of supervisors’ recommendations on this matter.
