Dividend
In 2009, MLP once again allowed its shareholders to participate in the company’s success. With € 0.28 per share, our shareholders received tax-exempt dividend payouts totalling € 30.2 million. This results from the changed tax treatment of the incorporation of MLP AG subsidiaries into MLP AG and their subsequent sale. This also applies to the next few years, in which shareholders in MLP AG can expect to receive tax-exempt dividend payouts of around € 350 million.
MLP also wants its shareholders to participate in the company’s success in 2010. At the Annual General Meeting on 20 May, 2010, the Executive Board and Supervisory Board will propose a dividend of € 0.25 per share.
