P&G Declares Dividend Increase

CINCINNATI–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Board of Directors of The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG)
declared an increased quarterly dividend of $0.6695 per share on the
Common Stock and on the Series A and Series B ESOP Convertible Class A
Preferred Stock of the Company, payable on or after May 16, 2016, to
Common Stock shareholders of record at the close of business on April
18, 2016, and to Series A and Series B ESOP Convertible Class A
Preferred Stock shareholders of record at the start of business on April
18, 2016. This represents a 1% increase compared to the prior quarterly
dividend.

This dividend increase marks the 60th consecutive year that the Company
has increased its dividend, demonstrating its commitment to – and
extending its long-term track record of – returning cash to
shareholders. The Company expects total dividend payments to
shareholders of approximately $7.5 billion in fiscal year 2016, bringing
total dividends paid over the last decade to nearly $60 billion. P&G has
been paying a dividend for 126 consecutive years since its incorporation
in 1890.

P&G noted that the amount of the dividend increase reflects the cash
impacts from streamlining and strengthening the business unit portfolio
and the Company’s plans to increase investments in the business to
achieve balanced top- and bottom-line growth. With this dividend
increase, P&G’s payout ratio of dividends to net earnings is expected to
be over 70% for the current fiscal year. Based on P&G’s recent stock
price, the annualized dividend yield on P&G’s common stock is
approximately 3.2%.
