    Subject to the approval of the General Meeting, a payment not exceeding Two Hundred Thousand Dirhams, may be paid to each Board member at the end of the financial year if the Bank didn't achieve profit during that year or if the Bank achieved profit but the share of the Board ember from such profit is less than AED (200,000) Two Hundred Thousand Dirhams, in such case, it is not permitted to receive both the remuneration and the payment.

The General Assembly may decide not to deduct such fines or some of them if it deems that such fines were not the result of default or error of the Board.
