"The Board of Directors is encouraged by the recent positive trend of international energy prices and the Company's strong operational and financial performance. Accordingly, the Board has decided to recommend to shareholders an increase to the annual dividend by 27% to 7 fils payable in in six monthly instalments in line with the practice of a growing number of public companies, starting this quarter immediately following approval of the
