The rights associated with shareholding have now been defined with certainty, which favours trading in the shares and permits transparent price formation. We shall act to facilitate this process. The actual amount of dividends will be decided, each year, subject to the results for the year and the Bank’s capital needs.
In order to foster compliance with the limit on shareholdings, the Bank may purchase its own shares temporarily; we shall avail ourselves of this option only if necessary and in such a way as in no case to entail any risk of loss.
