Porsche AG currently intends to pay an annual dividend of approximately 50% of the Group’s profit after tax attributable to the shareholders of Porsche AG according to IFRS in the mid-term, subject to legal restrictions with respect to the distribution of profits and available funds and subject to prevailing market conditions and the economic situation at the time of the distribution.

For the Fiscal Year 22 Porsche AG intends to pay a first dividend (the “Dividend 2022”)which would be payable in 2023 in an amount of EUR 911 million (plus the extra dividend of EUR 0.01 per Preferred Share), irrespective of the transfer of Porsche AG’s earnings after taxes for the year to Porsche Holding Stuttgart GmbH under the profit and loss transfer agreement (Gewinnabführungsvertrag) between Porsche AG and Porsche Holding Stuttgart GmbH. The Dividend 2022 is planned to be a symbolic absolute figure and the implied pay-out ratio will not necessarily be representative of the mid-term target pay-out ratio. The distribution funds, if any, will be raised by dissolving free capital reserves (Auflösung freier Kapitalrücklagen).

The Fiscal year 22 dividend will be an ordinary dividend. As Porsche Holding Stuttgart GmbH is entitled to Porsche AG’s entire earnings after taxes for 2022, the Dividend 2022 towards all existing shareholders will be paid by dissolving free capital reserves of Porsche AG. Further, the dividend will be decided at the 2023 Annual General Meeting and distributed to all existing shareholders, so that there is no difference to a regular distribution in this respect either.

The share capital of Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche Aktiengesellschaft (“Porsche”, “Porsche AG” or the “Company”) amounts to EUR 911,000,000 and is divided into 455,500,000 non-voting preferred shares (the “Preferred Shares”) and 455,500,000 ordinary shares (the “Ordinary Shares”). The Porsche AG IPO was limited to Preferred Shares only.

The Preferred Shares carry no voting rights in the Company’s annual shareholder meeting but holders of Preferred Shares will receive an additional dividend of EUR 0.01 per Preferred Share on top of every dividend that Porsche pays out to its shareholders.

The Preferred Shares of Porsche are listed on the regulated market (regulierter Markt) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse) with simultaneous admission to the sub-segment of the regulated market with additional post-admission obligations (Prime Standard).

At this point in time the Preferred Shares are not listed on other (regulated) stock exchanges.

The potential index inclusion of the Company’s Preferred Shares depends on various parameters, in particular on the market capitalization, the free float and the trading volumes. MSCI announced on 29-Sep-2022 that Porsche will be added to the MSCI Global Standard Indexes effective on 13-Oct-2022 (Index announcements - MSCI).
