Mediq, international supplier of medical devices and pharmaceuticals, has set the exchange ratio for the interim optional stock dividend for the financial year 2011.

Further to the announcement of 28 July 2011 on the payment of Mediq’s interim dividend for the 2010 financial year, the number of dividend rights providing an entitlement to one ordinary share of Mediq (the exchange ratio) has been set at 79.5.

This is based on a share price of € 11,9335; the average price, weighted by volume, of all Mediq shares traded on Euronext Amsterdam by NYSE Euronext during the period from 17 August 2011 up to and including 19 August 2011. This represents 1/79.5 Mediq share and a value of € 0.1501, and the stock dividend is therefore almost exactly equivalent to the cash dividend of € 0.15 per ordinary share of Mediq.

The payment of the cash dividend or transfer of shares will take place as from 24 August 2011. The stock dividend will lead to the issue of 326,597 new ordinary shares.
