Subject of the Disclosure
Policy on Declaration of Dividends
Background/Description of the Disclosure
In the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company held today, 29 September 2017, the Board adopted a policy on the declaration of dividends starting with Fiscal Year 2017-2018. The Board approved a dividend declaration policy of not less than 25% of the core income of the Company from the previous fiscal year, subject to compliance with the requirements of applicable laws and regulations, statutory limitations and/or restrictions, terms and conditions which may be imposed on the Company by lenders or other financial institutions, and the Company’s investment plans and financial condition. Core income is defined as consolidated income derived from the Company’s main business-education and other recurring income. The amount of dividends will be reviewed periodically by the Board in light of the Company’s earnings, financial conditions, cash flows, capital requirements and other considerations, while maintaining a level of capitalization that is commercially sound and sufficient to ensure that the Company can operate on a standalone basis. Dividends shall be declared and paid out of the Company’s unrestricted retained earnings which shall be payable in cash, property or stock to all shareholders on the basis of outstanding stock held by them. Unless otherwise required by law, the Board, at its sole discretion, shall determine the amount, type and date of payment of the dividends to the shareholders, taking into account various factors, including: • the level of the Company’s earnings, cash flow, return on equity and retained earnings; • its results for and its financial condition at the end of the year in respect of which the dividend is to be paid and its expected financial performance; • the projected levels of capital expenditures and other investment programs; • restrictions on payments of dividends that may be imposed on it by any of its financing arrangements and current or prospective debt service requirements; and • such other factors as the Board deems appropriate.
