Fortuna will propose the Annual General Meeting a gross dividend of EUR 0.67 per share

Prague/Amsterdam – The Management Board of Fortuna Entertainment Group N.V. (“the Company”) decided at its meeting held on April 11, 2013 that it will propose a gross dividend per share of EUR 0.67 at the upcoming Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (“AGM”).

In line with the Company´s earlier declaration that Fortuna is going to pay out 100% of the consolidated net profit for 2012 and possibly an additional dividend from its retained earnings from previous years, the Management Board and the Supervisory Board decided as follows:

Total pay-out shall amount EUR 0.67 per share and will be composed of three parts:

  TOTAL per share
Dividend from consolidated net profit for 2012 EUR 11,960,000 EUR 0.23
Dividend from retained earnings EUR 5,200,000 EUR 0.10
Share premium distribution EUR 17,680,000 EUR 0.34
Total payout EUR 34,840,000 EUR 0.67

Dividend from the 2012 consolidated net profit, dividend from retained earnings as well as the share premium will be distributed in one single payment in one day. The Management Board of the Company will proposed to the AGM a record day of June 11, 2013 and two different dates for dividend payment, either June 26, 2013 or July 30, 2013, depending on availability of external financing.

The AGM of Fortuna Entertainment Group N.V. will be held on May 28, 2013 in Amsterdam. The total sum allocated for the dividend amounts to EUR 34.84 million which, based on a total number of shares 52,000,000 equals to EUR 0.67 per share. The respective dividend payments will represent separate agenda items at the AGM and will be voted upon separately.

The long-term dividend policy of the Company with the dividend payout ratio is 70 - 100 % of the consolidated net profit will not be affected by this year´s dividend declaration. The different ways of dividend payout will affect their taxation. Information on dividend taxation and the taxation of share premium distribution will be published by the Company in the future.
