Philips announces exchange ratio for 2021 dividend
June 7, 2022
Amsterdam, the Netherlands – Royal Philips
(NYSE: PHG; AEX: PHIA) today announced that the exchange ratio for
the dividend in shares for the year 2021 has been determined. The
exchange ratio is 1 new common share for every 27.3184 existing
common shares. This ratio was based on the volume weighted average
price on Euronext Amsterdam of June 1, 2 and 3, 2022, of EUR
23.1906 and was calculated in a manner that the gross dividend in
shares is approximately equal to the gross dividend in cash.
Shareholders were given the opportunity to make their choice
between cash and shares between May 16, 2022 and June 3, 2022. If
no choice was made during this election period, the dividend will
be paid in cash. Both the dividend in cash and the dividend in
shares will be made payable to shareholders from June 8, 2022.
For 44.5% of the currently outstanding shares, an election was
made for a share dividend, resulting in the issuance of 14,174,568
new common shares. Upon distribution of the dividend shares, the
total issued share capital will amount to EUR 179,614,707.40,
representing 898,073,537 common shares.
As communicated earlier, Philips intends to have 19,571,218
shares delivered through the early settlement of forward contracts
in the remainder of 2022. These forward contracts were entered into
as part of the EUR 1.5 billion share repurchase program for capital
reduction purposes, as announced on July 26, 2021. Philips expects
to cancel a total of 28,329,673 shares (including 8,758,455
treasury shares already held) before the end of the year, which
would result in 869,743,864 issued common shares at year-end 2022
(2021: 883,898,969). More information is available via this
