Our share

The share capital of the company is set at €191,845,074 divided into 154,742,806 shares with no par value.

The shares are either in the form of registered shares or in the form of bearer shares, at the option of the owner.

Please note that there is no obligation for a shareholder to inform the Company of any transfer of bearer shares save for the obligations provided by the Luxembourg law of 11 January 2008 on transparency requirements in relation to information about issuers who securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market (the “Transparency Law”). Accordingly, the Company is not liable for the accuracy or completeness of the information shown below.

RTL Group’s dividend policy, which was updated in August 2019, now states that the Group will pay out at least 80 per cent of the adjusted full year net result.

The adjusted net result is the reported net result available to RTL Group shareholders, adjusted for any material non-cash impacts (both positive and negative). The Group reports its adjusted net result at the time of its full-year results announcement.

A Luxembourg withholding tax of 15%¹ is applied on the gross dividend amount paid to RTL Group shareholders. However an exemption from withholding tax at source may apply under the provisions of Article 147 of the Luxembourg Income Tax law (LIR).

The Annual General Meeting resolved to pay a dividend of €5.00 per share for the fiscal year 2021 – from which €3.50 represented the ordinary dividend while the remaining €1.50 related to the distribution of cash capital gains. The dividend for the full year ended 31 December 2021 was payable on 5 May 2022 (ex-date: 3 May 2022).

¹ such 15% withholding tax may be reduced by relevant double tax treaties entered into between Luxembourg and the country of residence of RTL Group shareholders, if applicable.
