The Company’s dividend payment policy is to distribute annual dividends to its shareholders at a rate of not less than 50.0% of the net profit as recorded in the Company’s separate financial statements after deductions for income tax and legal reserves as required by law and its articles of association. Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividend payments are subject to the discretion of the Company’s board of directors based on the Company’s results of operations, cash flow, investment plans, future needs and other factors as the Company’s Board of Directors deems appropriate, and the dividend payment must be approved by the annual general meeting of shareholders.
In addition, the Board of Directors may, from time to time, pay the shareholders the interim dividends, provided that it is of the view that the Company has adequate profits to make such payment. After the interim dividends have been paid, such dividend payment shall be reported to the shareholders at the next shareholders’ meeting.
