             Union Properties PJSC has approved a cash dividend of 3 fils per share, marking its first dividend distribution in
             11 years.

             The milestone reflects the company’s strong financial recovery and improved cash position following a multi-
             year transformation strategy.
             The decision signals renewed confidence in delivering consistent shareholder returns and long-term value
             creation.

             The company’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) witnessed 68% shareholder participation, successfully
             achieving quorum on the first call for the first time in six years.
             During the AGM, a new Board of Directors was elected for a three-year term, marking the start of a new growth
             phase.

             Chairman Mohamed Fardan Ali AlFardan highlighted the company’s robust financial performance and strategic
             progress.
             Total revenue reached Dh736.9 million, representing a 39.4% increase year-on-year, showcasing strong
             business momentum.

             Operating profit rose significantly to Dh240.7 million, compared to Dh161.8 million previously, indicating
             improved operational efficiency.
             The company’s cash reserves climbed to Dh494.2 million, reflecting one of its strongest liquidity positions in
             recent years.

             This enhanced financial strength enables the company to support future growth initiatives and maintain stable
             returns for investors.
             CEO Amer Khansaheb described the dividend approval as a defining milestone in the company’s transformation
             journey.

             Over the past four years, Union Properties has focused on disciplined execution, restructuring, and
             strengthening its financial fundamentals.
             The reinstatement of dividends demonstrates the company’s commitment to rewarding shareholders and
             rebuilding market confidence.

             The improved financial performance reflects effective cost management, optimized operations, and strategic
             decision-making.
             The company is now positioned to capitalize on opportunities in Dubai’s growing real estate sector.
             Strong liquidity and profitability provide a solid foundation for future investments and expansion plans.
