1 Aiming at a harmonization of securities settlements within Europe, the German legislator amended the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) to revise the due date for dividend payments effective from January 1, 2017. In accordance with the newly worded § 58 (4) AktG, the entitlement to dividends shall not fall due on the day following the Annual General Meeting, as has been the case earlier, but on the third business day following the Annual General Meeting.
