CDL aims to provide a return to shareholders at least once a year through the payment of dividends, after taking into account the Group's financial performance, short and long term capital requirements, future investment plans, general global and business economic conditions and any regulatory factors.

The Board endeavours to maintain a balance between meeting shareholders' expectations and prudent capital management with a sustainable dividend policy. The Board will review the dividend policy from time to time and reserves the right to modify, amend and update the policy.
