* On January 1, 2024, the Company conducted a three-for-one stock split of its common shares. Historical dividends have been adjusted as if the stock split had already occurred. The sum of Interim and Year-end dividends may not be equivalent to Annual dividend, since they are rounded off to the nearest whole number.

Note:The above forecasts are management's current views and beliefs in accordance with data currently available, and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results and dividends to differ materially from those projected.
