Objectives and Details: PTT establishes dividend payment policy at least 25 percent of net income after corporate reserves.

After the Board of Directors resolves to pay the annual dividend, the dividend payment also requires shareholders' approval except for interim dividend that the Board of Directors may resolve to pay the interim dividend without shareholders' approval and must inform regarding the interim dividend in the next shareholders' meeting.

The overall performance and financial statements indicate that PTT had Baht 91,175 million of 2022 net income. PTT's appropriated net income was reserved for self- insurance fund amounting to Baht 21 million. Therefore, PTT considers paying 2022 annual dividend in an amount of Baht 2.00 per share or 63% of the net income (Dividend payout ratio) in accordance with the Company's dividend policy. The comparison of dividend payments of 2022 and 2021 is as follows:
