21/06/2007 : Distribution of interim cash dividend of € 1.26 per share on 4 July 2007
Press release - Paris, 21 June 2007
At a meeting today, the Board of Directors, under the chairmanship of Patrick Ricard, approved the distribution of an interim cash dividend for the 2006/2007 financial year of €1.26 per share. This payment will be paid on Wednesday 4 July, 2007.
This interim dividend is equal to 50% of the total cash dividend amount paid in relation to the 2005/2006 financial year, in accordance with prior year’s practice. This therefore reflects a substantial increase in the interim dividend compared to the previous year due to the bonus issue of one free share for every five shares held, which came into effect on 16 January 2007.
Patrick Ricard commented: "I am delighted that investors can benefit from the Group’s good performance."
Shareholders’ agenda: 2006/2007 full-year sales - Thursday 26 July 2007
