The dividend payable on the fourth quarter of the fiscal year is expected to be at such rate that the cumulative annual dividend amount to be distributed by the Company (including the interim dividends) will total 30-50% of the annual net income (including in respect to 2021). All future dividends are subject to the Company's Board discretion and to the restrictions provided by Israeli law.
In accordance with the new dividend policy, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of approximately $296 million , or $2.50 per ordinary share, reflecting approximately 20% of Q3 2021 net income, to be paid on December 27, 2021 , to holders of the ordinary shares as of December 16, 2021 .
Long-Term Chartering Agreements In July 2021 , the Company announced a second strategic agreement with Seaspan Corporation for the long-term charter of ten 7,000 TEU liquefied natural gas (LNG) dual-fuel container vessels. Subsequently, in September, the Company announced the exercise of its option to long-term charter five additional 7,000 TEU LNG dual-fuel container vessels from Seaspan, so that the total number of vessels to be chartered under this agreement is fifteen (15). These 15 vessels are intended to be deployed across ZIM's various global trades. ZIM first strategic agreement with Seaspan was announced in February 2021 , under which the Company entered into a long-term charter agreement for ten 15,000 TEU LNG dual-fuel container vessels, intended to serve on its Asia to US East Coast trade.
Second-hand Vessel Purchases During the third quarter of 2021 and subsequent to quarter end, the Company purchased eight (8) second-hand vessels (built between 2007-2010) in a number of separate transactions. The vessels purchased include five 4,250 TEU vessels, one 2,553 TEU vessel and two 1,100 TEU vessels for a total consideration of approximately $355 million.
Updated Full-Year 2021 Guidance The Company increased its full-year guidance and expects to generate in 2021 Adjusted EBITDA of between $6.2 billion and $6.4 billion and Adjusted EBIT of between $5.4 billion to $5.6 billion .
Use of Non-IFRS Measures in the Company's 2021 Guidance The Company only provides guidance on a non-IFRS basis. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBIT to IFRS measures, due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, in particular because such reconciling items used to calculate projected net income (loss) may vary dramatically based on actual events. The Company is not able to forecast on a IFRS basis with reasonable certainty all reconciliation items needed in order to provide a IFRS calculation of projected net income (loss) or EBIT at this time. The amount of these reconciliation items can vary and may be material and, therefore, could result in projected IFRS measures being materially different than projected Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBIT.

Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains, or may be deemed to contain forward-looking statements (as defined in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the Israeli Securities Law, 1968). In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as "may," "might," "will," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential" or "continue," the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about the Company, may include projections of the Company's future financial results, its anticipated growth strategies and anticipated trends in its business as well as its intended dividend policy. These statements are only predictions based on the Company's current expectations and projections about future events or results. There are important factors that could cause the Company's actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results, level of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to: market changes in freight, bunker, charter and other rates or prices, new legislation or regulation affecting the Company's operations, new competition and changes in the competitive environment, the outcome of legal proceedings to which the Company is a party, and other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including under the caption "Risk Factors" in its 2020 Annual Report.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, it cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither the Company nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. The Company assumes no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date hereof to conform its prior statements to actual results or revised expectations, except as otherwise required by law.
The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures The Company presents non-IFRS measures as additional performance measures as the Company believes that it enables the comparison of operating performance between periods on a consistent basis. These measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for operating income, any other performance measures, or cash flow data, which were prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as measures of profitability or liquidity. Please note that Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account debt service requirements, or other commitments, including capital expenditures, and therefore, does not necessarily indicate the amounts that may be available for the Company's use. In addition, non-IFRS financial measures, as those presented by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, due to differences in the way these measures are calculated.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure which we define as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude financial expenses (income), net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization in order to reach EBITDA, and further adjusted to exclude impairment of assets, non-cash charter hire expenses, capital gains (losses) beyond the ordinary course of business and expenses related to legal contingencies.
Adjusted EBIT is a non-IFRS financial measure which we define as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude financial expenses (income), net and income taxes, in order to reach our results from operating activities, or EBIT, and further adjusted to exclude impairment of assets, non-cash charter hire expenses, capital gains (losses) beyond the ordinary course of business and expenses related to legal contingencies.
Free cash flow is a non-IFRS financial measure which we define as net cash generated from operating activities minus capital expenditures, net.
Net debt is a non-IFRS financial measure which we define as face value of short- and long-term debt, minus cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits and other investment instruments.
Net leverage ratio is a non-IFRS financial measure which we define net debt (see above) divided by Adjusted EBITDA of the last twelve-month period.
See the reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT and net cash generated from operating activities to free cash flow under "Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures" below.
