Dividends

The Executive Board and Supervisory Board propose that the EUR 77,000,000 unappropriated net profit for the 2006 fiscal year should be used to pay a dividend of EUR 1.10 on each of the 70,000,000 no-par-value shares making up the company's nominal capital stock of EUR 179,200,000.00. HOCHTIEF will then have increased its dividends by an average of more than 17 percent a year for five years in succession. This is in line with the company's long-term strategy.
