A statement issued after the annual general meeting (AGM) at Batelco’s Hamala headquarters said 10 fils per share was already paid during the third quarter of 2016 with the remaining 15 fils to be paid in the coming weeks.
“We are pleased to continue to build and return value to shareholders as demonstrated by the dividend payment in spite of challenging market conditions in Bahrain and across a number of the group’s operations due to the economic climate in general and also due to the vibrant nature of the evolving communications industry,” said Batelco chairman Shaikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Khalifa .
