Payment

The payment of coupon n°13 is fixed at 19 April 2011.

The dividend is payable:

• either by transfer to the shareholders registered by name;
• either by transfer to the credit of the bank account of the owner of dematerialised shares.

The financial service will be insured by the bank ING Belgium (System Paying Agent).

We draw shareholders' attention to the dematerialisation of GBL shares effective from 1 January 2011 (decision of the Board of Directors of 2 March 2010).
From that date, company’s rights related to bearer shares are suspended, including the right to collect dividends, and may only be recovered once these shares have been dematerialised through registration in a bank securities account or in the GBL's shareholders register. 

In both cases, shareholders are asked to carry out the necessary formalities at their financial institution.
