The Board of Directors of Solvac S.A. has decided to pay a second interim dividend. Still subject to approval by the General Meeting of Shareholders on May 8, 2018, this interim dividend will represent the balance of the total dividend payment for the accounting year 2017.

This second interim dividend, payable on December 28, 2017, amounts to € 2.14 gross per share.

Taking into account the first interim dividend decided in August, the total dividend 2017 is € 5.02 gross per share, an increase of 4.6 % compared with 2016.

Gross dividend in € 2016 2017
1st interim dividend 2.70 2.88
2nd interim dividend 2.10 2.14
Total 4.80 5.02

This evolution is in line with the one of the Solvay S.A.'s dividend which increased by 4.5 % in
