“E.ON to raise dividend after 5 billion euro debt reduction”

Financial Times

German energy company E.ON said it would increase its dividend next year after a huge government refund on nuclear-fuel tax allowed it to reduce debt by nearly 5 billion euros, writes Guy Chazan for Financial Times. “By continuing to systematically implement our debt-reduction programme, we’ll be well on our way toward achieving the flexibility to increase our dividend,” said E.ON’s CEO Johannes Teyssen in a press release.
