Autohellas SA (thereafter “The Company”) announces that the Annual General Meeting that took place on the 15th of May 2019 at the company's headquarters has approved a dividend payment of Euro 1.50 per share. Dividend payments are subject to 10% withholding tax in compliance with Law 4603/2019 article 65, with which the provisions of Articles 40 and 64 of L. 4172/2013 were amended, therefore the net amount payable will be Euro 1.35 per share.

 

The gross dividend amount of €1.50 per share announced, includes the dividend amount corresponding to the company's 57,559 own shares, in accordance to the legislation in place.

 

As of the 20th of May 2019, which is the cut-off date, the shares will trade in the Athens Exchange without the right to receive dividend.

 

Beneficiaries of the dividend are shareholders registered in the company´s records in the Dematerialized securities system on the 21st of May 2019 (Record Date).

 

According the above, dividend payment will commence on the 24th of May 2019.

 

Payments will be carried through ALPHA BANK, by the following payment methods:

 

  1. Through the Operators of the Greek Dematerialized Securities System (DSS/SAT), if the shareholders have authorized them to collect dividends on their behalf.
  2. Through ALPHA BANK branch network to those shareholders who have requested the non-receipt of dividends by their operator or have revoked the relevant authorization to their operator or their collection has not been possible by their operator or whose shares are kept in the special account of HELEX. In order to collect the dividend from the branches, it will be necessary to present the identity card and to provide the printout of the DSS data. The payment of the dividend to a third person is made only upon the presentation of an authorization, which will contain the full details of both the beneficiary and the authorized person (surname, forename, ID & ID number), certified for the authentication of the signature by a Police or other Authority. It is noted that due to restrictions imposed by the Legislative Content Act (F.E.K. 84 / 18-7-2015), as amended and in force, the payment of the dividend to the beneficiary shareholders by the Bank is performed either by credit transfer to an account held by the beneficial shareholder, either by issue and delivery to the beneficial owner of a bank check under the terms and conditions of the above-mentioned Legislative Act.

 

Dividend payment through the Alpha Bank network will be valid for five (5) years from the payment day (hence until the 24th of May 2024).

 

Dividends for Fiscal year 2018 that will not be collected by December 31, 2024 will be written off in favor of the Greek State.
