In 2018, we further enhanced our financial position. Our business showed sustained growth throughout the year, and we improved our underlying earnings. As a result, we will propose to our shareholders an all-time-high cash dividend of € 3.38 per ordinary share for 2018, up 22% year-on-year. This consists of a regular dividend of € 2.27 (2017: € 2.07), representing a payout of 50% of the basic underlying EPS. In addition, we propose a special cash dividend of € 1.11 per ordinary share, given our year-end 2018 leverage ratio of 0.8.
The ex-dividend date for the regular dividend will be March 28, 2019. The number of shares entitled to the regular dividend will be determined on March 29, 2019 (record date). The payment of the regular cash dividend will take place on April 2, 2019. The payment of the special cash dividend will take place in Q4 2019, on a specific date to be determined by the Executive Board and to be announced on the Randstad website.
We are also proposing a dividend payment on preference shares B and C of € 12.6 million.

Dividend policy
Source: annual report 2017
We aim for a payout ratio of 40% to 50% of net profit adjusted for amortization and impairment of acquisitionrelated intangible assets and goodwill, integration costs, and one-os. Additionally, we have implemented a conditional cash floor dividend of € 1.62 per share. This baseline dividend level will be maintained even when the general 40-50% payout ratio is temporarily exceeded, barring (i) seriously adverse economic conditions, (ii) material strategic changes to the sector and (iii) a material deterioration in our solvency & liquidity ratios.
