Piraeus Bank announces that its Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders, held today (03.04.2007), approved the dividend payment of Euro 0.64 per share, including the interim dividend of Euro 0.32 per share. Subsequently the remaining payable dividend amounts to Euro 0.32 per share. Eligible to receive dividends are shareholders of record on 04.04.2007. As of 05.04.2007, the shares of Piraeus Bank S.A. will be traded ex-dividend. Dividend payment will take place on 17.4.2007 (dividend payment date) through the Bank, according to article 329 of the Regulation of the Athens Stock Exchange and the specific provisions of the DSS Operating Regulation. In particular, in the event that the Operator of the shares is Piraeus Bank, the dividend corresponding to the shares under its operation will be automatically credited to the deposit account connected with the securities custody account in Piraeus Bank. In the event that the Operator in the Dematerialised Securities System is another Bank or Brokerage Company, such Operator will collect the corresponding dividend on account of the shareholder. If the shareholder has requested to be exempted from the above mentioned process (at least five business days prior to the dividend payment date) by the Operator or the Central Securities Depository, such shareholder may collect the corresponding dividend himself through the branches of Piraeus Bank, by producing his ID, Tax Record Number and, optionally, a copy of his record in the Dematerialised Securities System.
