4.20 Retained earnings

In accordance with Greek Corporate Law, companies are required each year, to declare dividends of at least 35% of after
tax profits, after allowing for the legal reserve.

In addition, the prevailing bank loan agreements impose specific conditions for the permitted dividend distribution, which
have been fulfilled since 2003 when the Company was in the financial position to distribute dividends.

In June 2009, the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders approved the distribution of dividends amounting to €105.000.000
or €3,50 per share, which was fully paid to the shareholders in August 2009.

At the forthcoming Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders, the Board of Directors will propose a dividend distribution
amounting to €168.000.000, or €5,60 per ordinary share, with respect to the current financial year. These dividends
have not been provided for. Refer to notes 4.6 and 4.25 with respect to the income tax consequences on the proposed
dividends distribution.
