Bastei Lübbe AG announced that the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board will propose to the Annual General Meeting the payment of a dividend of 0.29 cents per share. This will consist of the regular dividend of 0.25 cents as well as a special dividend of 0.04 cents as a distribution of the after-tax proceeds from the previously mentioned settlement payment. The total payout ratio is thus 46 per cent of distributable earnings and corresponds to a dividend yield of 5.52% on the closing price on 8 July 2021.
