Tax Credits
Dividend payments made to SES shareholders are subject to a Luxembourg withholding tax of 15%. In many instances, depending on the tax domicile of the shareholder, this tax credit can be used to offset other taxes that might be payable by the shareholder. For more information on this subject, shareholders should consult their broker or tax adviser.
