During the meeting, the Group demonstrated its commitment to providing value to shareholders by approving the recommendation of the Board of Directors to distribute cash dividends at a rate of 3.5% for the year 2022. This decision not only reflects the Group's financial success in 2022, but also confirms its dedication to delivering consistent returns. The recommendation for cash dividend distribution was a key highlight of the meeting, in addition to the approval of the agenda items.
