While we have a strong capital position and expect ongoing capital generation, we currently face a number of uncertainties. These include further significant TRIM impacts, a material add-on of around EUR 7.5 billion for mortgages imposed by the Dutch central bank (DNB), and we remain subject to an investigation by the Dutch public prosecutor. Given these uncertainties, ABN AMRO proposes a final cash dividend of EUR 639 million or EUR 0.68 per share, reflecting an additional distribution of EUR 233 million on top of the 50% pay-out ratio. Together with the interim cash dividend of EUR 564 million, this will bring the total dividend for 2019 to EUR 1,203 million or EUR 1.28 per share. This is equivalent to a pay-out ratio of 62% of reported net earnings after deduction of AT1 coupon payments and minority interests, and reflects a 12% additional distribution. In 2018, the pay-out ratio was also 62% with a EUR 1.45 dividend per share, or EUR 1,363 million.

Over the first half of 2019, earnings per share were EUR 1.19. The interim dividend for H1 2019 has been set at EUR 0.60 per share, which amounts to EUR 564 million. This is equal to 50% of the sustainable H1 2019 result attributable to owners of the parent company, excluding AT1 capital securities, which is in line with our dividend policy of at least 50% of sustainable profit and with the pay-out ratio over the first half of 2018.
At the full-year results, additional distributions of above 50% will be considered if capital is within or above the target range and will be subject to other circumstances, including regulatory and commercial considerations. 
The combined distribution will amount to at least 50% of sustainable profit
