Abu Dhabi – Mubasher: Alpha Dhabi Holding has proposed a three-year dividend policy that secures annual dividends valued at AED 2 billion, equivalent to 20 fils per share, according to a press release.
Subject to the board and shareholders’ approvals, the recommendation marks an annual increase of 5% yearly from 2025.
The proposed policy aligns with Alpha Dhabi’s strategy to balance its rapid growth trajectory against its objective to create sustainable value for its shareholders.
Alpha Dhabi Holding will also implement a share buyback program of up to AED 1 billion, not exceeding 10% of the company’s issued share capital.
This will be valid from the date of Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) approval until 31 December 2026, subject to compliance with the SCA approval process and Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) disclosure requirements.
Meanwhile, the new three-year dividend policy and share buyback program will take effect upon adoption by the board members.
The general assembly meeting will be held at least 30 days after the board’s meeting and will be announced to shareholders at least 21 days in advance, in line with applicable regulations.
Hamad Al Ameri, Managing Director and Group CEO of Alpha Dhabi Holding, said: “We are committed to delivering exceptional shareholder value, which is why our three-year dividend policy rewards our shareholders for being an integral part of our growth journey.”
“This decision is based on our confidence in our current business, including our predictable cash flow position, robust capital allocation, as well as our optimism in our future growth prospects,” Al Ameri mentioned.
In the first nine months (9M) of 2025, the net profits after tax of Alpha Dhabi Holding dropped to AED 10.42 billion from AED 11.07 billion in 9M-24.
