ABU DHABI / WAM

Borouge petrochemical company on Friday announced the General Assembly approval
for its 2022 interim dividend payment of $325 million (AED1.2 billion) equivalent to 3.97 fils per share.
The interim dividend will be paid to shareholders of record on October 03 and is the first payment of the expected total FY 2022 dividend of $975 million (AED3.6 billion), equivalent to 11.91 fils per share. The interim dividend payment reflects Borouge’s strong financial performance in H1 2022 and its outlook for the remainder of 2022.

Borouge reported strong maiden half-year results with double-digit growth in revenue, significant sales volume growth and strong cash flow generation.
