20.7 DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION POLICY

Amount of dividends distributed during the course of the last three financial years ◆ With respect to 2016: €261 million or €2.64 per share, representing a payout ratio of 60% of net income; ◆ with respect to 2015: €258 million or €2.61 per share, representing a payout ratio of 60% of net income; ◆ with respect to 2014: €241 million or €2.44 per share, representing a payout ratio of 60% of net income. Dividend distribution policy The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, held on 11 May 2017, voted to pay a dividend of €2.64 per share for financial year 2016, with an ex-dividend date of 7 June 2017. Given that the payment of the interim dividend (€0.70) in December 2016, the dividend settlement (€1.94) was paid on 9 June 2017. This dividend corresponds to a payout ratio of 60% of the 2016 net income attributable to the Group. To date, other than the disputes mentioned below, neither Aéroports de Paris nor any of its subsidiaries have been in the past or are currently party to any legal action or arbitration procedure before an independent authority, government body or non-jurisdictional authority, that could give rise in the future, or has given rise in the last 12 months, to material adverse impacts on the financial position, business, income or assets of Aéroports de Paris or of its subsidiaries. The overall consolidated provisions created for all Group litigation and claims is shown in Note 8.1 to the consolidated financial statements in Chapter 20. The most significant disputes and claims were as follows: JSC Investissements On 13 July 2013, JSC Investissements initiated an action for compensation before the Paris Commercial Court following the decision of Aéroports de Paris in 2004 not to grant an authorisation of temporary occupation of public property concerning the construction and operation of a centre for shopping and services on Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport site. The Court of Appeal, by a decision of 18 March 2015, confirmed the lack of jurisdiction of the civil courts, in favour of the administrative courts.

The Board of Directors of Aéroports de Paris has decided to implement a policy for the payment in cash of an interim dividend up until the financial year ending on 31 December 2020. For the 2017 financial year, this interim dividend amounts to €69 million, i.e . €0.70 per share. The dividend payment of the interim dividend was made on 6 December 2017 and payment of the interim dividend for 2017 was made on 8 December 2017. This dividend corresponds to a payout ratio of 60% of the 2017 net income attributable to the Group, unchanged compared to 2016. Since 1 January 2013, all dividends and interest paid for the benefit of natural persons are subject to the progressive scale for income tax after a reduction of 40%. The option for flat-rate withholding tax, as provided in article 117 quater of the General Tax Code has been discontinued. Statute of limitation Unclaimed dividends shall lapse to the government authorities at the end of a five year period as from their date of payment.

20.8 LEGAL AND ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS

Finally, the Jurisdictional Court, by a decision of 4 July 2016, recognised the jurisdiction of the administrative courts to hear the case and returned the parties to the Paris Administrative Court. By decision of 19 January 2017, the Paris Administrative Court denied JSC Investissements all of its claims. An appeal against this decision has been filed by JSC Investments. The Court set the date for closing the investigation at 2 March 2018. A hearing should therefore be scheduled shortly. Terminal 2E As part of the criminal proceedings concerning the collapse of part of the Terminal 2E jetty at Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport on 23 May 2004, by an Order dated 18 October 2017, the examining magistrate ordered the case concerning Aéroports de Paris, Bureau Veritas, GTM and Ingérop to be sent back to the criminal court. The proceedings will be held from 10 to 14 December 2018.
