Nutreco dividend at EUR 1.32 per share

After deduction of the interim dividend of EUR 0.20, which was paid out in August 2009, the final dividend amounts to EUR 1.12 per ordinary share. The final dividend can be paid out either entirely in cash, after deduction of 15% dividend tax, or in ordinary shares which will be charged to the tax-free share premium reserve. Payment in ordinary shares is exempt from Dutch dividend taxes. The conversion ratio will be determined on 21 April 2010 after close of trading, based on the weighted average share price on the last three days of the period allowed for shareholders to notify Nutreco of their preference, i.e. 19, 20 and 21 April 2010. Both the cash and stock dividends will be put at the shareholders' disposal on 27 April 2010. The value of the stock dividend will be (approximately) equal to the cash dividend.
