Dividend policy

In line with the Capital Markets Day announcement in January 2023, Proximus rebased its dividend level to EUR 0.60 per share for the years 2024 and 2025. The rebased dividend level incorporates all known macro and inflationary headwinds, closed M&A transactions (Route Mobile and Fiberklaar), as well as expected changes in market structure. The proposed dividend is reviewed and submitted to the Board of Directors on an annual basis, in order to keep strategic financial flexibility for future growth, organically or via selective M&A, with a clear focus on value creation. This also includes confirming appropriate levels of distributable reserves.

Proximus will return the expected dividend of EUR 0.60 per share over the result of 2025 in two tranches: a gross interim dividend of EUR 0.30 per share payable in December 2025 and the remaining normal gross dividend of EUR 0.30 per share payable in April 2026, pending approval by the 2026 Annual General Meeting.
