Dividend policy<br />

<strong>Lundin</strong> <strong>Petroleum</strong>’s primary objective is to add value to the<br />

shareholders, employees and co-venturers through profi table<br />

operations and growth. The added value will be expressed partly by<br />

dividends paid and partly by a long-term increase in the share price.<br />

This will be achieved by increased hydrocarbon reserves, developing<br />

discoveries and thereby increasing production and ultimately cash<br />

fl ow and net income.<br />

The size of the dividend has to be determined by <strong>Lundin</strong> <strong>Petroleum</strong>’s<br />

fi nancial position and the possibilities for growth through profi table<br />

investments. Dividends will be paid when <strong>Lundin</strong> <strong>Petroleum</strong> generates<br />

suffi cient sustainable cash fl ow and net income from operations to<br />

maintain long-term fi nancial strength and fl exibility. Over time the<br />

total return to shareholders is expected to accrue to a greater extent<br />

from the increase in share price than from dividends received.<br />

Due to the nature of <strong>Lundin</strong> <strong>Petroleum</strong>’s operations, the dividend<br />

policy is to give funding priority to ongoing projects, and satisfy the<br />

immediate capital requirements of <strong>Lundin</strong> <strong>Petroleum</strong>.<br />
