Dividend Policy
Our dividend policy is governed by the principles of balanced capitalisation growth and higher dividends, based on the net profit received in relevant period and factoring in our operational needs and investment requirements. TMK’s Board of Directors generally recommends the General Meeting of Shareholders to pay dividends on the outstanding shares equal to at least 25% of the Company’s IFRS consolidated net profit.
Key priorities of our dividend policy include higher capitalisation and investment appeal of the Company, wealth growth, and balancing the interests of all shareholders. Our dividend policy is articulated in the Dividend Policy Regulations (https://www.tmk-group.ru/media_ru/files/51/divpolicy_150307_l.pdf) which seek to introduce a transparent and efficient mechanism to determine the amount of dividends and the dividend payment procedure, and outline the Board’s strategy in issuing recommendations on dividends payable on shares, and terms and procedure of dividend payment.
