Dividend Policy:
We expect to declare and pay annual dividends of not less than 75% of our PAT after MI in respect of any year. However, in considering the level of dividend payments, we take into account various factors including:

i) the level of our available cash and cash equivalents;
ii) return on equity and retained earnings; and
iii) our projected levels of capital expenditure and other investment plans.
