2019 dividend
The Shareholders’ Meeting approved the payment of a dividend of €0.50 per share for the 2019 financial year. Taking into account the interim dividend of €0.30 per share already paid in December 2019, the balance of the dividend to be distributed amounts to €0.20 per share. The ex-dividend date is 2 June and the balance will be paid on 4 June 2020.
For the 2020-2023 period, the objective to distribute a dividend of 0.70 euro per share will be reviewed at a later date in light of the evolving situation. The Board of directors has provided for the right to offer shareholders the option of being paid a 2020 interim dividend in Orange shares.
