Dividend policy
The dividend policy of Heineken N.V. intends to preserve the independence of the Company, to maintain a healthy financial
structure and to retain sufficient earnings in order to grow the business both organically and through acquisitions.
The dividend payments are related to the annual development of the net profit before exceptional items and amortisation
of brands (net profit beia), which results in a dividend payout ratio in the range of 30-35 per cent.
Dividends are paid in the form of an interim dividend and a final dividend. The interim dividend is fixed at 40 per cent
of the total dividend of the previous year. Annual dividend proposals will remain subject to shareholder approval.
