The dividend paid in 2014 amounted to approximately Euro
89 million (Euro 0.42 per share). A dividend of Euro 0.42 per
share for the year ended 31 December 2014 will be proposed
at the annual general meeting to be held on 16 April 2015 in
a single call; based on the number of outstanding shares, the
above dividend per share equates to a total dividend payout
of approximately Euro 89 million. The current financial state-
ments do not reflect any liability for the proposed dividend.
29. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
As a global operator, the Group is exposed to legal risks
primarily, by way of example, in the areas of product liability
and environmental, antitrust and tax rules and regulations.
The outcome of legal disputes and proceedings currently
in progress cannot be predicted with certainty. An adverse
outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result
in the payment of costs that are not covered, or not fully
covered, by insurance, which would therefore have a direct
effect on the Group’s financial position and results.
As at 31 December 2014, the contingent liabilities for which
the Group has not recognised any provision for risks and
charges, on the grounds that an outflow of resources is
unlikely, but which can nonetheless be reliably estimated,
amount to approximately Euro 15 million.
It is also reported, with reference to the Antitrust investi-
gations in the various jurisdictions involved, that the only
jurisdiction for which the Group has been unable to estimate
the risk is Brazil.
