the cost of capital. As a result of this policy, creating value for the shareholder is compatible with<br />
access to financial markets at a competitive cost in order to cover both debt refinancing and<br />
investment plan financing needs not covered by funds generated by the business.<br />
In order to maintain and adjust the capital structure, the <strong>Group</strong> may vary the amounts of the<br />
dividends payable to the shareholders, return capital, issue shares or sell assets to reduce debt.<br />

structure is controlled on the basis of the leverage ratio, which is calculated as the result of<br />
