6. THE MAIN OUTLINE OF THE DIVIDEND POLICY.

 

In recommending to WBD Foods OJSC General Shareholders Meeting to take a decision on the payment of dividends and in determining at what level to declare a dividend, we considered a number of financial factors, including sustainability and capital requirements and resources of our business. We expect that our recommendations regarding the level of the annual dividend (for fiscal year 2006) would be in the range of US$ 0.50-0.60 per WBD Foods OJSC share. It is expected that the Board of Directors would recommend paying similar annual dividends in the future provided WBD Foods OJSC maintains its profitability.
