Solvac S.A. resolved to increase the first interim dividend to EUR 2.83 gross, an amount corresponding to 60% of the rounded total dividend of the previous year, in accordance with policy. The net amount is EUR 2.1225. This first interim dividend will be paid on 25 September 2014. The Solvac shares will trade ex-dividend on Euronext Brussels, starting on September 8, 2014.

The company reported consolidated earnings results for the half year ended June 30, 2014. For the period, the company has posted net loss of EUR 72 million or EUR 4.7 per share against net income of EUR 50 million or EUR 3.3 per share year ago. The cash results from the first half of 2014 are therefore down by EUR 3.3 million compared to the peak observed over the same period in 2013. This drop has no effect on the distribution level of Solvac.
