The Board of Directors of the Company has agreed to propose at the next Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, to be held in the first quarter of 2009, distribute an extraordinary dividend of US$ 165 million equivalent to 76% of the net profit from the transaction between Madeco and Nexans, if the transaction between both companies is finally closed.
