EBRO APPROVES ADDITIONAL EXTRAORDINARY DIVIDEND OF 0.15€ PER SHARE

Within the framework of its dividend policy and in view of the company’s healthy cash position since the SunRice purchase did not come off, the Ebro board resolved at a meeting held just before the AGM to distribute an extraordinary dividend of 0.15 €/share.
This extraordinary dividend will be paid in addition to the ordinary dividend approved by the General Meeting for 2010, of 0.416 €/share in quarterly payments of 0.104 €/share over 2011.
The extraordinary dividend will be made effective in two payments of 0.075 €/share, coinciding with the last two quarterly payments of the ordinary dividend of the year: 3 October and 22 December 2011. On both of these dates, therefore, shareholders will receive 0.179 €/share, between ordinary and extraordinary dividend.
With this new dividend, Ebro will distribute dividends among its shareholders in 2011 in a total sum of €133.247 million, which, when added to the €314.534 million paid over the past three years, gives a payout for the period of €447.8 million.
