Payment of dividends

The Board of Directors has decided to propose to the Annual General Meeting that a dividend of €1.20 per share be paid for 2011. The dividend will be paid to all shareholders included in the register of Kesko Corporation’s shareholders kept by Euroclear Finland Ltd on 19 April 2012 (record date for the payment of dividend). The registration takes three banking days, so the dividends are paid to those who hold the shares at the close of the date of the Annual General Meeting on 16 April 2012.

According to the Board of Directors’ proposal, the payment of dividends starts on 26 April 2012.
