This year the Board has recommended an increase in the final dividend of 38% to 11p per share to those shareholders on the register on 13 April 2007, payable on 15 May 2007. This gives a total ordinary dividend for the year ended 31 December 2006 of 16p (2005 – 12p), in line with our current progressive dividend policy. Major acquisitions During 2006, we continued to grow our range of services through the hiring of individuals and acquisition of businesses in the UK, Europe and Asia Pacific as highlighted on page 44. Of particular importance was the acquisition of a 55% holding in Korea Asset Advisors and BHP Korea, which reinforces our position in this region. We also acquired Hamilton Osborne King in Ireland which was later rebranded as Savills Hamilton Osborne King, opening a new market to Savills as well as reinforcing links with Irish investors.
