Shareholder's report
Shareholding structure
Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield Stapled Shares are listed on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange and the Paris Stock Exchange, as well as in the form of Chess Depositary Interests (CDI) on the Australian Securities Exchange. URW is included in the CAC 40, AEX 25 and ASX 200 indices. On December 31, 2021, the Group had a market capitalisation of €8.5 billion. URW has a large and diverse international shareholder base, which is mainly composed of institutional investors based in the United States, the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, France and Australia. As at December 31, 2021, one of URW’s shareholders (Xavier Niel through NJJ Market and Rock Investment) has declared a holding of more than 10% of the issued share capital.
Dividend
As part of the Group’s comprehensive deleveraging plan, the Group suspends the payment of a dividend for its fiscal years 2020, 2021 and 2022. Once the Group has completed its deleveraging programme, it will resume the payment of a dividend at a sustainable payout ratio, which will grow in line with the performance of its reshaped portfolio. Given the statutory results of URW SE in 2021, the Group has no obligation to pay a dividend in 2022 for the fiscal year 2021 under the SIIC regime and other REIT regimes it benefits from. It anticipates not to have such an obligation for the fiscal year 2022 as well. Consequently, URW SE’s SIIC distribution obligation, standing at €1,020.8 Mn as at December 31, 2021 (relating to fiscal years 2020 and 2021), will be delayed until URW SE has sufficient statutory results to meet this obligation.
