Dividend policy

Annual report 2010

# Dividend policy

The Bank’s dividend policy is based on a balance between the need to reinvest in further development and observance of the right of shareholders to receive net profits. This balance is a key factor for long-term increase in the Bank’s shareholder value. The Bank’s dividend policy envisages annual dividend payments of up to 10% of net profit earned in the previous financial year. Dividends on preferred shares must be 20% of their face value, according to the Bank’s Articles of Association. All dividends are paid in monetary form, net of taxes, within 60 days of the approval of their payment by the General Meeting of Shareholders.

The text of the Provision on Dividend Policy is available on the Bank’s website: http://www.vbank.ru/en/investors/cmanagement/internal/.
