A proposal will be submitted to the 2012 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to declare a dividend of EUR 0.75 per common share, in cash or in shares at the option of the shareholder, against the reserve retained earnings. Such dividend is expected to result in a distribution with a total value of EUR 695 million.

Shareholders will be given the opportunity to make their choice between cash and shares between May 7, 2012, and May 25, 2012 (US ends on May 24). If no choice is made during this election period, the dividend will be paid in shares.
On May 25, 2012, after close of trading, the number of share dividend rights entitled to one new common share will be determined based on the volume-weighted average price of all traded common shares of Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. at Euronext Amsterdam on 23, 24 and 25 May, 2012.
The Company will calculate the number of share dividend rights entitled to one new common share, such that the gross dividend in shares will be approximately 3% higher than the gross dividend in cash.

Payment of the dividend and delivery of new common shares, with settlement of fractions in cash, if required, will take place from 30 May 2012.
