In 2012 ENI Ltd struck oil and the management thinks that this will enhance profitability. As a result, the company’s dividend per share of 8.0 paid to shareholders last year will be increased by 12% annually for the next three years. However, if a new oil is not found the rate of growth in dividend will be reduced by 5% after the three years for another three years and if the situation stays the same, it will be reduced by a further 4% and will stay at that rate of growth forever.
