The Board of Directors of Mediolanum S.p.A. met today in Basiglio (MI) and approved the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Mediolanum Group as at December 31, 2011.
The Board of Directors resolved to propose to the Shareholders the payment of a dividend of 11 eurocents per share relative to the net income for 2011. Considering the interim dividend of 7 eurocents per share already paid out in November 2011, the Board of Directors will propose the distribution of a dividend balance of 4 eurocents per share, gross of any applicable taxes, at the General Shareholders' Meeting, payable on May 24, 2012 (ex-dividend date May 21, 2012; coupon No. 24).
The General Shareholders' Meeting for the approval of the financial statements will take place on April 19, 2012 at 2:30 p.m. first call, and if needed, at the same time on April 20, 2012 in a second call. It is reasonable to assume that the shareholders' meeting with take place on the first call..
CONSOLIDATED GROUP RESULTS for 2011 were penalised by the impairments of 85 million euro of the Greek government bonds in the company's portfolio and of 41 million euro in the shareholding in Mediobanca, net of tax.
Excluding these non-recurring items, net income totals 193 million euro, a decrease of 16% with respect to 2010.
The result, moreover, felt the impact of 44 million euro (net of tax) of unrealised losses on investments at fair value, which have already been recuperated in the first months of 2012. Without this temporary loss in value, net income in 2011 would have been greater than in the previous year.
