    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.

    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.
