Singapore, 22 May 2014 The Board of Directors has decided on a dividend policy for BW LPG at a meeting held today. This policy will provide a degree of predictability and transparency on the determination of dividend payouts to shareholders. When determining the semiannual dividend level, the Board will target a payout ratio of 50% of net profits after tax, and will take into consideration appropriate limits on leverage, capital expenditure plans, financing requirements, appropriate financial flexibility and anticipated cash flows. In addition to cash dividends, BW LPG may buy back shares as part of its total distribution of capital to shareholders. There is no plan to do so at present. BW LPG strives to maintain balance sheet strength that is appropriate to the volatility of the market. This requires maintaining leverage below 60%, taking into account committed and likely capital expenditures.
