Dividend

The Board of Directors has adopted a dividend policy to distribute a minimum of 30 per cent of each year’s recurring net profit to shareholders in the form of an annual ordinary dividend. As one of Europe’s fastest growing broadcasters, MTG needs to maintain a strong financial position in order to take advantage of opportunities as they arise. However, the company also believes that shareholders should benefit directly and consistently from its strong cash flow generating ability.
