The Annual Regular General Assembly of the shareholders of METKA S.A. which took place on the 8^th of May 2013 decided, among others, to distribute a dividend of euro 0.25 per share for the financial year 2012. Of this amount, there will be a tax deduction of 25%, conforming to law 3943/2011 article 14, par. 2. Therefore,  shareholders shall receive a net amount of euro 0.1875 per share.

For the foreign dividend beneficiaries (natural persons or legal entities), which are citizens of conventional countries, the tax deduction percentage varies according to the local agreement for the avoidance of double taxation, which in any case does not exceed the 25%.

Ex-dividend date for the above dividend distribution shall be the 10^th of May 2013 (record date).

On May 20^th, METKA S.A. shall credit the operators' accounts which in turn shall pay the beneficiaries. It should be noted that the investor has the right to revoke the authorization he has given to the operator simply by filing an application to the Hellenic Stock Exchanges S.A. (HSE) at least five working days before the dividend's payment date.

b) Directly through Piraeus Bank, either by crediting the shareholder's bank account or by check, in case the investor:

-          hasn't authorized his operator

-          has revoked the authorization he has given to the operator through an application to the HSE

-          his shares are kept in the Special Account of his quota.

Payment shall be effected by Piraeus Bank only.
