- The company also aims to retain an investment grade credit rating to ensure long-term customer confidence and access to debt capital markets at competitive terms.
- Special dividends and/or share buybacks may serve as a supplement to ordinary dividends.
- Any dividend will be decided by the general meeting following a proposal from the Board of Directors and will depend on the company’s financial position, cash flow, capital requirements and applicable legal restrictions.
