Zurich, Switzerland – WEBWIRE

Shareholders representing 477’479’641 shares are participating in ABB Ltd’s Dividend Access Facility (DAF), corresponding to 90% of ABB Ltd shares registered with Euroclear Sweden.

Shareholders participating in the DAF will be registered temporarily as shareholders without right to a dividend from ABB Ltd. These shareholders will instead receive their dividend from ABB Ltd’s Swedish subsidiary ABB Norden Holding AB. The participating shareholders will for each ABB Ltd share receive one ABB Ltd share without dividend rights (ABB Ltd U), and one dividend right from ABB Norden Holding AB separated from the share (SR1). The ordinary ABB Ltd shares will be re-registered on the shareholders’ accounts on May 9, 2019. Assuming that shareholders approve the dividend at ABB Ltd’s Annual General Meeting on May 2, 2019, for shareholders participating in the DAF, the dividend payment date is planned to be May 10, 2019.

The ABB Ltd U share will be traded, in parallel with the ABB Ltd share, on NASDAQ Stockholm, during the period April 29, 2019 through May 6, 2019. The ABB Ltd U share’s ISIN code is SE0012453843. Trading in dividend rights, SR1, will not be possible.
