Managing director Mark Bryers said although most shareholders were owners of Blue Chip shares for only a very short part of that half-year, “the directors nonetheless believed the company should begin as it means to continue as a listed company, by involving all shareholders in the company's success.”
With a pro forma after-tax profit of $1.895 million for the 6 months, the dividend represents a payout ratio of about 50% of after-tax profits.
