Rational AG: Special Dividend (corrected)

The company Rational AG has announced the payment of a special dividend of EUR 2.50 per share in addition to a regular dividend of EUR 7.50 per share. Via Corporate Action info 001 from 31 March 2022 an erroneous information with respect to an adjustment of the Eurex contracts on Rational AG was published. The decision to adjust the Rational AG contracts will therefore be reverted, as no transactions were concluded since the erroneous information.

The special dividend in the amount of 2.50 Euro will not lead to an adjustment as published in corporate action info 001 on contracts on Rational AG, as the payment of the 2.50 Euro special dividend is, according to the company information, a compensation for the reduction of the dividend of business year 2019 from 10.70 Euro to 5.70 Euro. Therefore, the special dividend of 2.50 Euro falls under the dividend guideline published on 22. May 2020 (circular 35/2020) and updated on 08 November 2021 (circular 101/21) for the treatment of dividends within the scope of the Covid crisis. Therefore, no adjustment of the 2.50 Euro special dividend will be made and the total dividend of 10.00 Euro will be considered as ordinary.
