Dividend

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are proposing to the Annual General Meeting that a dividend of SEK 16.00 per share be paid for 2009. The Board of Directors has proposed 4 May 2010 as the record date. With this record date Euroclear Sweden AB (formerly VPC) is expected to pay out the dividend on 7 May 2010. To be guaranteed a dividend H&M shares must be bought on 29 April 2010 at the latest. The ex-date – that is, the first day of trading in H&M shares with no entitlement to dividend for the 2009 financial year – is 30 April 2010.
