HSBC TRINKAUS & BURKHARDT AG 2010 DIVIDEND
The Supervisory and Management Boards of HSBC Trinkaus & Burkhardt AG propose the payment of a dividend of €2.50 per share (2009: €2.50) for the 2010 financial year. Shareholders will be invited to approve the dividend at the Annual General Meeting on 7 June 2011.
The preliminary result largely confirms the guidance based on third quarter 2010 results: estimated net profit for the 2010 financial year is substantially above that for 2009. The core capital ratio stands at over 11 per cent, far exceeding banking supervisory requirements. With a long-term "AA" issuer rating, HSBC Trinkaus has the best Fitch rating among the German private banks.
Further figures and details of the 2010 financial year are scheduled to be published on 2 March 2011.
