The Board of Directors of D B & G at its meeting held on April 26, 2006, reviewed its dividend policy and decided to increase the Company’s aggregate annual dividend payment as a percentage of the Company’s annual consolidated net profit after tax, from that which applied before.
The dividend of J$0.71 per share declared by the Directors at that Board Meeting therefore comprises a higher percentage of the Company’s estimated consolidated net profit after tax for the financial year ending March 31, 2006 than the percentage comprised by previous annual dividends paid by the Company.
