The Company may also consider to buy back shares as part of total distribution of capital to the shareholders.

The Company will maintain a disciplined capital allocation approach with shareholder distributions always being at the board’s discretion and subject to market outlook, contract backlog, cash flow generation, capital expenditure plans and funding requirements, whilst maintaining financial flexibility.

The Board of Directors will determine the value of the dividend quarterly and revisit the dividend policy annually.
