Beneficiaries of the dividend were shareholders registered in the Company's records in the Dematerialized Securities System on May 16, 2016 (record date) and the net amount payable was 0.595 euro per share as dividend was subject to a 15% withholding tax based on the effective Law, which was paid to the beneficiaries on May 19, 2016 by Eurobank Ergasias.

Following the above, the Company announces the additional payment of the amount of 0.035 euro per share, corresponding to 5% - due to the change of withholding tax from 15% to 10% - on the gross dividend of 0.70 euro, to the Company's dividend beneficiaries who were registered in the Dematerialized Securities System on May 16, 2016 (record date) and are subject to withholding dividend taxation. The company will use funds transferred from abroad for the payment of dividend.
