Dividend policy
IMCD N.V.’s dividend policy targets to pay an annual dividend in the range of 25% to 35% of adjusted net income to be paid out in cash or shares, barring exceptional circumstances. Adjusted net income is defined as the reported result for the year plus non-cash amortisation charges (net of tax). The outcome could be adjusted for material non-recurring items.
