Dividend policy

Annual report 2011

# Dividend policy

The dividend policy aims to maintain a balance between distributing dividends and increasing the Bank’s capitalization by reinvesting in development. Thanks to this, the shareholder value is rising over the long term.

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 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/.
