Dividend Distribution Policy

The Board of Directors has established a dividend policy, which forms the basis for the proposals on dividend payments that it makes to the Shareholders taking into consideration the business performance of the Company and its strategic initiatives. The Board believes that it is in the best interest of Grameenphone to draw up a long-term and predictable dividend policy. The objective of the policy is to allow the Shareholders to make informed investment decisions. The Board has approved the following dividend policy:

“The dividend policy is to pay minimum 50% of the net profit after tax depending on the financial health and capital requirement of the Company with an aim to have a consistent growth in dividend payout. Grameenphone shall aim for as frequent dividend distribution as possible. Grameenphone can consider special dividend payments such as interim dividend subject to the company’s business performance and cash availability.”
