Accelerating dividend growth
Total’s development perspectives confirm the Board of Directors’ confidence in the ability of the Group to deliver profitable and sustainable growth. At the meeting on September 23, the Board of Directors therefore decided to accelerate dividend growth in the coming years with a guidance of increasing the dividend by 5 to 6% per year, instead of the 3% per year as previously announced. This was reflected in the announcement of the amount for the third interim dividend for 2019, ex-dividend date March 2020, which will be €0.68 per share, up 6% compared with the third interim dividend for 2018.
The second interim dividend for 2019 will be for an amount of 0.66 euro per share, ex-dividend date January 6, 2020 and payable on January 8, 2020.
The Board of Directors has set a guidance to increase the dividend by 5 to 6% per year.
