MOSCOW, Feb. 26 -- Russian metals giant Norilsk Nickel (GMKN.MM: Quote) may spend $1 billion -- or half of the company's 2009 net profit -- on dividend payout, the daily Vedomosti reported on Friday.

The newspaper, citing sources close to the company's two major shareholders, Vladimir Potanin's holding group Interros and aluminium producer UC RUSAL (0486.HK: Quote), reported that involved parties are in negotiations over the size of the payment.

This would be Norilsk's first annual dividend payout in two years.
