The dividend remainder amount is subject to a 15% tax imposed on dividends (that is Euro 0.105 per share) pursuant to paragraph 11 of article 112 of the Law 4387/2016 (Government Gazette A’ 85/12.05.2016) as amended with the Law 4389/2016 (Government Gazette A’ 94/27.05.2016).

The Company will use funds kept with overseas banks for the payment of the year 2016 dividend remainder. The payment of the year 2016 dividend remainder to the shareholders will be effected through the payee bank – BANK OF PIRAEUS S.A. – on Monday July 3rd, 2017 as follows:

3.      The shareholders who have entered through their Operator(s) into the DSS the indication “Don’t use IBAN for payments with funds from a foreign remittance” will be attended to at any branch of the payee bank – BANK OF PIRAEUS S.A. The collection of the dividend through any branch of the payee bank concerns also those shareholders of category 2 above who have not declared an IBAN kept with the payee bank – BANK OF PIRAEUS S.A.

4.      The shareholders not credited by their DSS Operator(s), for whatever reason, will be attended to at any branch of the payee bank – BANK OF PIRAEUS S.A. – from Friday July 7th, 2017.
