                                                      Current policy with guaranteed payout extended for 6 years

Key highlights

       dividend policy for six years years:

                                               Divmin = (Div-3year+ Div-2year + Div-1year) / 3
      The new dividend policy maintains 50% of IFRS net profit as base case.
      Minimum dividend threshold is set at the average dividend paid over the previous three years.
