The Executive Board of RWE AG decided in its meeting today to propose to
the annual general meeting on 27 April 2017 a dividend equaling the last
year's proposal amounting to EUR 0,13 per preferred share and including a
suspension of the dividend for common shares. The proposal also
accommodates the significant financial burden under the forthcoming law
rearranging the responsibilities for nuclear waste management in Germany.
On the basis of the expectations for 2017, the Executive Board envisages
paying a dividend for the current business year of EUR 0,50 per common and
preferred share. The Executive Board aims to at least maintain this
dividend level in subsequent years. In this context, RWE is orienting
itself towards operating cash flows that are freely available on a
sustainable level.
The Executive Board
