On 16 April 2019, PostNL announced to pay a final dividend over 2018 of €0.17 per ordinary share in cash or shares at the option of the shareholders.
Shareholders that elected dividend in shares will receive one PostNL ordinary share for every 12.2552 dividend rights. This represents a value of €0.17 per dividend right.
