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 acguisitions.
The dividend payments are related to the annual development of the net profit before exceptional items and amortisation of acguisition-
related intangible assets (net profit beia).
Following the strong results of 2014 and to reflect confidence in future strong and sustainable cash flow generation HEINEKEN has widened
the pay-out ratio for its annual dividend from 30%-35% to 30%-40% of Net profit (beia).
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.
