Approval of dividend policy
Globaltrans Investment PLC (the "Company" and together
with its consolidated subsidiaries "Globaltrans" or the

Board of Directors approved the Company's dividend
policy.
The dividend policy is to recommend to shareholders, for
their approval at the Group's Annual General Meeting, a
dividend per annum of not less than 30 percent of the
imputed consolidated net profit of the Group, if any,
based on the Group's consolidated financial
statements for the immediately preceding financial year,
prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU.
When adopting the dividend policy, the Board of Directors
expects that it will remain in force for an indefinite
period of time. However, the provisions of this dividend
policy are subject to modification from time to time as
the Board of Directors may deem appropriate. The payment
of any dividend is subject to the requirements of Cypriot
law which provides that dividends can be paid out of net
accumulated distributable profits of the Company.
