Batenburg Beheer N.V.’s dividend policy is aimed at offering shareholders an attractive dividend yield and to distribute a cash dividend annually of at least 40% of net income. In 2009 much attention went out to working capital management, which contributed to the improvement of the cash position. Despite the lower result the cash position enables us to offer a relatively high dividend. It is proposed to pay EUR 1.00 dividend per share (2008: EUR 1.20). Based on the price at close of business on 31 December 2009, the dividend yield amounted to 4.4%.
Price-sensitive information and disclosure of major holdings
On the subject of price-sensitive information, Batenburg Beheer N.V. has drawn up a protocol based on the model of the Association of Securities-Issuing Companies (VEUO), as approved by the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM). The Batenburg Beheer Regulations on ownership of and Transactions in Securities include a clause prohibiting trading in the run-up to the publication of the annual figures and the publication of the half-year figures. These regulations are available on the website of the company.
Based on the Act on Financial Supervision the AFM keeps a register of Substantial Holdings. Shareholders are required to disclose holdings in issuing institutions as soon as these total 5% or more of the issued capital. Such holdings must then be disclosed again to the AFM as soon as they reach, exceed or decrease below a certain threshold.
