Interest on Capital financial
"approved the declaration of Interest on Capital (“IoC”), pursuant to Article 26"
Interest on capital is the cost a business pays for using money — either money it borrowed or funds provided by owners — and functions like rent paid for that capital. It matters to investors because higher interest payments reduce profits and cash available for dividends or growth, while lower interest costs leave more profit and improve company value; think of it as the price of fueling a company’s operations.
mandatory dividends financial
"IoC will be considered as part of the mandatory dividends for the fiscal year"
ex-IoC financial
"After this date, the shares will trade as “ex-IoC”."
Share Buyback Program financial
"due to possible acquisitions of shares under the current Company's Share Buyback Program."
A share buyback program is when a company uses its cash to repurchase its own outstanding shares from the market, reducing the number of shares available to investors. That matters because it can raise the value of remaining shares and signal management's confidence in the business—similar to a bakery buying back unsold loafs to make each remaining loaf represent a larger share of its oven’s output—though buybacks can also affect cash available for other uses.
withholding income tax financial
"withholding income tax at the rate of 17.5%, resulting in a net amount"
