Overview of actual dividend distribution compared to dividend policy

Dividend policy: KCC intends, on a quarterly basis (after the initial investment period 2019-2021), to distribute a minimum 80% of the adjusted cash flow to equity, i.e. EBITDA less debt service and maintenance cost as dividends to its shareholders, provided that all known, future capital and debt commitments are accounted for, and the company's financial standing remains acceptable.
