The dividend policy approved by Transmode's Board of Directors states that Transmode's target is to propose a yearly dividend over time of between 25 - 50% of Transmode's profit for the previous financial year. According to the dividend policy, when proposing a dividend for a financial year, the Board of Directors should consider Transmode's investment requirement, financial needs, liquidity requirements and its financial targets.
