Dividend information


The ordinary dividend for the year is CHF 0.30 per share.

The reduction compared to the prior year primarily reflects the Group restructuring and the separation from the investment in BAT. However, for a former Richemont unitholder who continued to hold the Richemont, BAT and Reinet shares after completion of the restructuring, this proposal means a small increase in dividend income over this very difficult year.

The dividend will be paid as follows:
Gross dividend per share
Withholding tax @35%
Net payable per share
Ordinary dividend



Compagnie Financière Richemont SA, Switzerland
CHF 0.300 CHF 0.105
CHF 0.195

The dividend will be paid following the Annual General Meeting, which was held on 9 September 2009. The dividend payment dates are as follows:

'A' share dividend: Monday, 14 September 2009. The dividend in respect of Richemont 'A' shares was payable in Swiss francs. The ex-dividend date will be 14 September 2009.

South African Depository Receipt dividend: Friday, 25 September 2009. The South African Depository Receipt dividend is payable in rand to residents of the South African Common Monetary Area ('CMA') but may, dependent upon status, be payable in Swiss francs to non-CMA residents. The exchange rate applicable for the conversion of Swiss francs into rand for the payment of the dividends will be ZAR 7.2301:Swiss franc 1. Accordingly the net dividend payable per CFR DR is ZAR O.140987. The last day to trade the Depository Receipt cum-dividend will be 11 September 2009.
