Sword Group Announces Dividend Payment Details for 2024

Sword Group has confirmed a 2024 gross dividend of €2 per share, pending approval at the Annual General Meeting on April 28, 2025. The payment schedule is as follows: Ex-Date is April 30, 2025, the Record Date is May 2, 2025, and the Payment Date is May 5, 2025. The ex-date marks when shares start trading without the dividend, while the record date determines dividend eligibility.

Being located in Luxembourg, Sword Group’s dividend is subject to a 15% withholding tax. Exemptions and credits vary based on shareholders' residency and share placement. French individual shareholders receive a tax credit to avoid double taxation, but no refund is available if shares are in a PEA. Legal entities in France benefit similarly. Shareholders in states with favorable tax treaties can seek reimbursement from Luxembourg authorities.
