DIVIDEND

The Company’s dividend policy is to maintain a stable dividend, which grows over time. Determination of the dividend is based on the Company’s assessment of its underlying cash flow position. As part of the Company’s regular planning process, following review of its cash flow position and forecast, the Company has concluded that the outlook for cash flow generation has improved given the increase in the quantum of the Lease and Operate backlog. Based on this, a dividend of US$165 million (which equals to US$0.89 per share, based on the number of shares outstanding less the number of treasury shares held at December 31, 2020), to be paid out of retained earnings, will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting on April 7, 2021. This represents an increase of 10% compared to the dividend paid in 2020.

On February 1, 2021, the lenders in the Company’s US$1 billion Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) agreed to the Company’s request to exercise the second one-year extension. The final maturity date of the RCF is thereby extended from February 12, 2025 to February 13, 2026. The Company does not have any other extension option remaining.
