Dividend
   
 
What is EGCO dividend policy?
   
  EGCO had a policy to pay consistent dividend to shareholders, linked to the underlying earnings performance of the business. In the absence of unforeseen circumstances, EGCO has a policy to dividend approximately 40% of the consolidated net profit after tax, or to increase the dividend amount in a steady manner, to the shareholders. This dividend policy may change in the light of investment opportunities that may become available to EGCO or as a result of other economic or financial factors or when a dividend payment may have a significant impact on EGCO’s normal operation. The dividend payment shall not exceed the retained earnings of the separated financial statements.
   
What are dividend payment dates?
   
  The payment of dividends shall be made within 1 month of the date of the resolution of the shareholder meeting or of the Board of Directors' meeting, as the case may be, in accordance with the Public Limited Companies Act B.E. 2535 Section 115 and EGCO’s Articles of Association Section 41. EGCO tries its best to pay dividend to shareholders as earliest as possible. EGCO usually declares an interim dividend for the first half-year operation and final dividend for the second half-year operation around September and May, respectively.
