Dividend policy

We consider shareholder return to be a priority management issue and have made it our basic policy to return the maximum amount of profit to shareholders according to business results each period, giving due consideration to ensuring that we have the internal reserves necessary for future growth. 
We provide dividends twice a year (interim and year-end), determined by resolution of the General Meeting of Shareholders and the Board of Directors unless otherwise specified by law in accordance with the provisions of Article 459, Paragraph 1 of the Companies Act.
