| Dividend | GEH’s dividend guideline aims to pay a steady dividend amount twice yearly. Each twice yearly payment will be an amount that targets a full year payout to shareholders that is based on the sustainable profit level of the Group, and the dividends will be progressive in line with the profit trend. Barring unforeseen circumstances, the Company aims to maintain each dividend amount (adjusted for corporate actions undertaken, if appropriate) to be no lower than the preceding one. | Group/Company, FY2025 | PDF p. 185 |
