Dividend Policy and Payments
MCOT Plc. has the policy of dividend payment for not less than 40 percent of the net profit after the deduction of all reserves required. However, such dividend payment must depend on the investment plan, necessities, and other matters as appropriate in the future. The resolution of the Board of Directors which approves the dividend payment must be proposed to the shareholders’ meeting for approval, except the interim dividend payment that the Board of Directors shall have the power to approve such payment before reporting such in the next shareholders’ meeting
MCOT Plc. has continuously made the dividend payments to shareholders since 2004, which is the first year when the Company distributed its shares on the Stock Exchange of Thailand. The first dividend payment came from the net profit of the fiscal year of 2004 (October 2003 - September 2004) at 0.50 Baht per share. Later, MCOT Plc. has changed its accounting year from the fiscal year (October - September of the following year) to be the calendar year (January - December of each year), so the second dividend payment from the net profit during the last 3 months of Year 2004 (October - December 2004) was made at 0.09 Baht per share.
