The data shall be provided to KELER Zrt by the shareholder matching as of 24th April 2013 or by the account managers of the shareholders in the case of dividend claims made at a later date.
Shareholders are hereby advised to check by 23rd April 2013 at latest with their account managers the data necessary within the context of the payment / of taxation, since no dividend can be paid in lack of such information. For private persons the following information is necessary for the payment / taxation:

ANY Security Printing Company Plc and KELER Zrt. acting as its agent shall not be held responsible for the delay resulting from the incomplete or incorrect data supply by the account managers or from the time intensiveness of the data processing.

ANY Security Printing Company Plc and KELER Zrt. are not liable to pay interest for dividends received after 2nd May 2013.
ANY Security Printing Company Plc or its agent shall at all times calculate and pay the net dividend to its shareholders in compliance with the relevant regulations in force.
If the shareholder is a private person
The private person is obliged to pay a 16-percent personal income tax after the dividend paid to him/her for the 2012 results.
If the shareholder is a foreign-resident private person
If the shareholder wants to receive the dividend by using the preferential tax rate in accordance with the agreements made on the avoidance of double taxation, documents specified in Appendix 4 to the Act XCII of 2003 (hereinafter Art.) on the rules of taxation which was modified several times, shall be presented by him/her not later than by 25th April 2013 to the Share Issue Department of KELER Zrt. (1075 Budapest, Asbóth u. 9-11.). The securities account managers are hereby advised that a copy of the Hungarian official translation of the document executed by the foreign tax authority is enough to certify the foreign residence and therefore, we can accept residence certificates in this form as of the 2013 tax year. Should the existence of beneficial owner declaration be also required according to the agreement on the avoidance of double taxation, the acceptance of it is also subject to a document including the Hungarian official translation. The beneficial owner declaration can be naturally made in Hungarian as well. If neither the residence certificate nor the indication of its post-supplement will arrive to KELER Zrt. by 25th April 2013, the dividend will be transferred by deducting the 16-percent personal income tax. If the foreign-resident owner has got the documents specified in the Annex 4 of Art., and there is a valid agreement on avoidance of double taxation between these two countries, stipulating the use of preferential tax rate, but the owner will not present these documents to KELER Zrt. by 25th April 2013, and therefore, the dividend is transferred to him/her by deducting the 16-percent personal income tax, the client may claim for the return of the difference between the 16-percent and the beneficial tax rate at the Directorate for Key Taxpayers of the Hungarian Tax Authority, based on a certificate executed by ANY Security Printing Company Plc in accordance with Section 5 of Annex 4 of Art.
If shares are kept in fixed investment account
If shares are kept in fixed investment account by home-resident and foreign-resident private individuals, dividend is paid without tax deduction (Act on Personal Income Tax, §67/B, Section 6, Item c), Annex 4 of Art.). Simultaneously with the claim for dividend, the securities account manager is obliged to inform KELER Zrt. – who acts as ANY Security Printing Company Plc’s agent in the dividend payment – that shares are registered in fixed investment account. If the securities account manager fails to do so, the dividend will be paid by deducting the 16-percent personal income tax.
If the shareholder is a legal entity
If the shareholder is a legal entity, based on the specified data (i.e. company name, seat, tax ID number in case of home-resident legal entity; company name and seat in case of foreign-resident legal entity) ANY Security Printing Company Plc or its agent will transfer the dividend to the bank account given by the securities account manager. If the shareholder is a legal entity, the dividend will be paid without deducting taxes and contributions.
In case of shareholder’s nominee
Payment of the dividend to shareholders’ nominees defined in Act CXX (Tpt.) of 2001 on capital market is made in accordance with the shareholder matching arrived at KELER Zrt.
On behalf of ANY Security Printing Company Plc, KELER Zrt. shall issue and forward to the shareholders by mail no later than 31st January 2014 a tax certificate about the amount of taxes deducted.
The dividend due for the year 2012 can be claimed for a period of 5 years following the month-end of starting date of the dividend payment, i.e. till 31st May 2018, after which the dividend claim will lapse.
