Voor het boekjaar 2017 zal aan de algemene aandeelhoudersvergadering een totaal bruto dividend van 3 euro per aandeel worden voorgesteld, bestaande uit een interim-dividend van 1 euro per aandeel (betaald in november 2017) en een slotdividend van 2 euro per aandeel (wordt betaald in mei 2018). Aan de algemene vergadering zal ook worden voorgesteld 2,7 miljoen aandelen terug te kopen. De redenering daarachter is om zo de aandeelhoudersverwatering tegen te gaan veroorzaakt door de jaarlijkse kapitaalverhogingen voor personeel. Dit komt neer op een pay-out ratio van 59%.
