This shareholder also pointed to a dividend policy in line with intentions of the Management Board, which envisages a dividend payout in the amount of at least 30% of the net profit, as well as Principle 4.14 of the Code of Best Practice for WSE Listed Companies: "Companies should strive to distribute their profits by paying out dividends.
