The dividend comes to HUF 21.8 per share.
The AGM resolution also states that the board shall be entitled to decide on the payment of dividend in several installments.
Earlier in April, the board said it would propose payment of a HUF 750 mln dividend on ordinary shares at the AGM and payment of an interim dividend of HUF 750 mln at an extraordinary general meeting at a later date in order to comply with rules governing Duna House’s Italian subsidiaries.
Italian law prohibits parent companies from taking into account dividends declared by subsidiaries up to the reporting date when determining their own dividend, Duna House noted earlier.
The total dividend approved by shareholders on Wednesday comes to HUF 874 mln, including HUF 124m paid on employee shares.
