GDB adopts a dividend policy of up to 30% of the profit attributable to owners of the Company to be distributed as dividends to shareholders annually. Nevertheless, the quantum of dividends will be determined after taking into account, inter alia, the level of available reserves and cash flows, operating cash flow requirements, capital expenditure commitments, other investment and future expansions plans and requirements.

However, shareholders should note that the intention or policy should not be treated as a legal obligation on our Company. Nonetheless, in the past GDB has been paying more than 30% dividend payout to its shareholders.
