Dividends
As of March 29, 2013, Symantec had never declared or paid any cash dividends on its capital stock. We

approved a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share of common stock to be paid on June 27, 2013 to all
stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 19, 2013. Any future dividends will be subject to the
approval of our board of directors. The dividend policy, future declarations of dividends, and payment dates will
be subject to the board of directors’ continuing determination that the policy and the declaration of dividends
thereunder are in the best interest of our stockholders and are in compliance with applicable law. The board of
directors retains the power to modify, suspend, or cancel our dividend policy in any manner and at any time that
it may deem necessary or appropriate in the future.
