BERWYN, PA .– (BUSINESS WIRE) – June 17, 2021–
Trinseo (NYSE: TSE), a global materials solutions provider and manufacturer of plastics, latex binders, and synthetic rubber, announced today that its board of directors has approved a quarterly dividend of $ 0.08 per share. The dividend is a cash distribution payable on July 22, 2021 to the shareholders of record at the close of business on July 8, 2021.
Tax Considerations
Trinseo is a public limited company incorporated under Luxembourg law. Under current Luxembourg tax law, distributions to shareholders through the repayment of equity or premium are not subject to Luxembourg withholding tax. Distributions from Trinseo before 2020 were capital repayments or premium repayments and were therefore not subject to Luxembourg withholding tax.
This quarterly distribution counts as dividend on the common shares and is subject to withholding tax at 15% under Luxembourg law. Trinseo will deduct this tax from the dividends paid to our shareholders and transfer this tax to the Luxembourg tax authorities.
Unitholders may benefit from certain exemptions or reductions from withholding tax based on Luxembourg tax legislation or applicable income tax treaties. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisor in order to obtain possible refunds from the Luxembourg tax authorities. Trinseo SA’s RCSL number is B153549.
The above discussion does not cover all tax matters that may and may not be relevant to any particular Shareholder. Shareholders are strongly encouraged to consult their own tax advisor on the tax consequences of Luxembourg withholding taxes, the availability of exemptions or benefits under tax treaties, or other federal, state, local and foreign tax considerations in relation to dividends from Trinseo or the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our common stock .
