The Board is pleased to announce that it has approved and adopted the revised dividend policy (the ''Revised Policy'') which shall supersede the Policy with effect from 24 March 2021.

According to the Revised Policy, in deciding whether to propose a dividend and in determining the dividend amount, the Board shall take into account, inter alia, the following factors:

  • (a) the Company's operating results, actual and expected financial performance;

  • (b) retained earnings and distributable reserves of the Company and each of the members of the Group;

  • (c) the level of the Group's debts to equity ratio, return on equity and the relevant financial covenants;

(g) general economic conditions, business cycle of the Group's business and other internal and external factors that may have an impact on the business or financial performance and position of the Company; and

(h) any other factor that the Board deems appropriate and relevant.

Taking the above factors into consideration, the Board may propose an ordinary dividend (including a final dividend and an interim dividend) and/or a special dividend from time to time. This arrangement is subject to the Revised Policy of which the Company is committed to provide a competitive aggregated dividend payout amount to be received by its shareholders for each financial year.

Such declaration and payment of the dividend by the Company is also subject to any restrictions under the Companies Laws of the Cayman Islands, any applicable laws, rules and regulations and the Articles of Association of the Company.

Any declaration and payment of future dividends under the Revised Policy are subject to the Board's determination that the same would be in the best interests of the Group and the shareholders of the Company as a whole.

The Board will review the Revised Policy from time to time and may exercise at its sole and absolute discretion to update, amend and/or modify the Revised Policy at any time as it seems fit and necessary.
