Dividend policy 

The dividend policy to be followed by the Company’s Management Board will comprise of paying dividends consistent with the level of the Company’s development and to allow for the maintenance of a reasonable level of financial liquidity. In the medium term, the Management Board intends to make a recommendation to the Shareholders’ Meeting that dividends be paid in accordance with power industry standards. The Management Board currently believes that a distribution of nearly 40-50 per cent. of the consolidated net profit will be attributable to equity holders of the parent company. For each individual distribution, the amount of the dividend will depend, in particular, on the Company’s overall indebtedness, expected capital expenditures and prospective acquisitions.
