BASF SE
Ludwigshafen am Rhein
Notification pursuant to § 30 (b) paragraph 1 No. 2 WpHG
Notification of Dividend
The Annual Shareholders' Meeting held on April 26, 2013 confirmed the
distribution of a dividend of EUR 2.60 per qualifying share for the
financial year 2012.
The dividend will be paid on or after April 29, 2013 net of 26.375% German
withholding tax (25% German capital yields tax and 5.5% solidarity surtax).
Depending on shareholders' personal circumstances church tax will be
withheld automatically.
The dividend will be paid via the Clearstream Banking AG by the depositary
banks.
Paying agent will be Deutsche Bank AG.
For shareholders subject to German taxation, the dividend is taxable in
accordance with the provisions of the German Income Tax and Corporate Tax
Act. Withholding tax will not be withheld in the case of shareholders who
have given their bank a certificate from the German tax authorities that
they are not subject to an assessment procedure
(Nichtveranlagungsbescheinigung). The same applies fully or partly to such
shareholders who have submitted a German application for exemption from
withholding tax (Freistellungsauftrag) to their bank insofar as the
exemption limit stated in the application has not already been used for
other income from capital.
Shareholders not subject to German taxation may apply for a reduction of
the withholding tax in accordance with the double taxation agreement
between the Federal Republic of Germany and their country of residence. To
claim this reduction, shareholders must submit an application for
reimbursement before December 31, 2017 to the Bundeszentralamt für Steuern,
53225 Bonn, Germany.
