The Company has a policy of paying dividend at the rate of no less than 50% of the net income after tax in accordance with the Company's financial statements (on a standalone basis). The Company shall pay dividend in the following fiscal year taking into consideration the cashflow from the operation of the business. The annual dividend payment announcement must be approved at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. As for the interim dividend payment, the Company's Board of Directors may deem it appropriate to pay interim dividend if the Company has sufficient profits and working capital for business operation after the interim dividend payment. The Board of Directors has the responsibility to inform the shareholders of such payment in the subsequent shareholders' meeting.
The Board of Directors shall take the following factors into account when considering dividend payment to the shareholders, namely, the Company's performance, liquidity, current cashflow and financial status, regulations and conditions regarding dividend payment as set forth in the loan agreements, bonds, any contracts imposing the Company's liabilities, including agreements or contracts that the Company is obliged to comply with; future business plan and capital investment requirement; and other factors as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.
Moreover, the Company must comply with the Public Company Limited Act B.E. 2535 (1992) (as amended), which states that the Company cannot pay dividend if the Company still has retained loss though the Company has net income in that particular year. Additionally, the Public Company Limited Act B.E. 2535 (1992) (as amended) states that the Company is required to reserve an amount equal to 5% of the annual net income after deduction of the retained loss (if any) as legal reserve fund until such legal reserve fund is equal to not less than 10% of the registered capital. In addition to the legal reserve fund, the Board of Directors may consider making other types of reserve fund as it deems appropriate.
