The Group's Director and Supervisory Board, on July 30, 2024, approved a new official dividend policy aiming to pay semi-annual dividends with a payout ratio of 30-50%.

CORRECTION: Dividend policy principles clarified. Refer to the second paragraph below.

As stated in the policy, shareholders can expect dividend payouts two times a year in the form of interim (calculated on the unaudited six-month financials) and annual dividends (calculated on the audited twelve-month statements).

For example, in order for dividends to be paid to investors with a 50% payout ratio, the equity ratio (post dividends) must be above 20%. A 40% payout ratio would apply if the equity ratio after dividends is in the 15-20% range. If the post-dividend equity ratio is below 15%, the target dividend payout ratio would be 30%. In exceptional cases, if the equity ratio after dividends is above 25%, a reasonably higher dividend payout ratio may be decided.

“Following the best corporate governance and business transparency practices, we have approved a new dividend policy, the main goal of which is to reward those who have put trust in our business model and the management. We are now strong enough to share our success on a more regular basis. For us, the new policy gives a clear dividend payout framework, considering the business needs, economic conditions, and our desire to bring more value to shareholders. It is worth noting that the policy complies with our financial covenants related to other Group’s capital markets commitments and is a focal part of a well-thought long-term strategy,” on the new policy comments Modestas Sudnius, the CEO of Eleving Group.
