If the above dividend proposal is adopted, the shares will be traded ex-dividend as of May 13, 2019 at the New York Stock Exchange and Euronext Amsterdam. In compliance with the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange and the stock market of Euronext Amsterdam, the dividend record date will be May 14, 2019.
Shareholders will be given the opportunity to make their choice between cash and shares between May 15, 2019 and June 7, 2019. If no choice is made during this election period the dividend will be paid in cash. On June 7, 2019 after close of trading, the number of share dividend rights entitled to one new common share will be determined based on the volume-weighted average price of all traded common shares Koninklijke Philips N.V. at Euronext Amsterdam on June 5, 6 and 7, 2019.
The company will calculate the number of share dividend rights entitled to one new common share (the ratio), such that the gross dividend in shares will be approximately equal to the gross dividend in cash. The ratio and the number of shares to be issued will be announced on June 12, 2019. Payment of the dividend and delivery of new common shares, with settlement of fractions in cash, if required, will take place from June 13, 2019.
