Mechelen, December 2, 2021 – Telenet Group Holding NV (“Telenet” or the “Company”) (Euronext Brussels: TNET) announces that the Special Shareholders’ Meeting has approved the proposed gross intermediate dividend of €1.375 per share (net €0.9625 per share), equivalent to an aggregate amount of €150.4 million1.

As detailed in the October 28, 2021 press release, the intermediate dividend will be paid on December 8, 2021 with the Telenet shares trading ex-dividend as of the opening of the Brussels stock exchange on December 6, 2021. The record date has been confirmed at December 7, 2021.

The effective payment of the intermediate dividend to both registered shareholders and holders of dematerialised shares will occur on December 8, 2021.
