Any plans for dividend payouts?
Yes. A dividend of 26 kobo was declared.
Oh that’s an improvement from lprevious year’s 10kobo dividend. By and large my FBHN purchase in 2014 was a bad decision. The stock has lost it’s glory with the Hold on structure baggage. Doesn’t seem like there’s gonna be any significant improvement in years to come. Hopefully, one can pull out with out losses in the near future.
Holdco structure baggage*
Thanks for the info.

Any plans for dividend payouts? It took them quite some time to announce results. Well done FBNH.
