Luis Maroto, President & CEO of Amadeus, comments on the SGM:

“We thank our shareholders for participating today in the Shareholders’ General Meeting and approving all of the Board’s proposed agenda items – along with continuing to support the Amadeus senior management.

“Despite 2011 presenting a challenging global economic environment, Amadeus achieved a healthy growth in revenue, EBITDA and adjusted profit from continuing operations.

“Shareholder remuneration is important for Amadeus. Following today’s approval, the 2011 dividend to our shareholders will amount to €165.6 million (€0.37 per share), 23% higher than the previous year.

“Once again I would like to thank our customers for their support and partnership, alongside our investors for their continued backing. I would also like to give recognition to Amadeus’ most important asset, our employees, whose talent, commitment and enthusiasm are key to our success.”
