Dividend
The dividend of EUR 0.25 per share will be paid to shareholders in shares and will be payable as of 24 April 2015.

The record date has been set at 21 April 2015, after the close of trading. Holders of ordinary shares will receive the dividend via the bank or broker where their shares are held in custody after close of business on 21 April 2015. The ex-dividend date is 20 April 2015.

At today's AGM, the shareholders approved the proposed appointment of Mr. Peter van Bommel (1957) to the Neways Supervisory Board for a four-year term.

Mr. Van Bommel is currently CFO and member of the Management Board of ASMI. His other positions include membership of the Supervisory Board of KPN. His extensive know-how and experience in the sector and the financial and executive experience he has garnered in such positions as CFO at NXP and in various divisions within Philips make Mr. Van Bommel a valuable addition to the Neways Supervisory Board.

The Supervisory Board would like to express its gratitude to Mr. Boers for his valuable contributions and commitment over the past 13 years as a member of the Neways Supervisory Board.

In addition to Mr. Van Bommel, the Supervisory Board now consists of Mr. Henk Scheepers, who will fill the position of chairman of the Supervisory Board, and Mr. René Penning de Vries, who will act as deputy chairman.
