Dividend Declaration

Symphony International Holdings Limited ("Symphony")

13 August 2021

Not for distribution, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States or any jurisdiction in which such distribution would be unlawful

Symphony International Holdings Limited announces dividend payment

The Board of Directors (the "Board") of Symphony International Holdings Limited (the "Company" or "Symphony") is pleased to declare an ordinary dividend payment of 2.50 cents per share (taking into account the total shares outstanding at the date of this announcement) amounting to approximately US$12.8 million.

The Board is declaring this dividend having considered its dividend policy in light of divestments, dividends received from investee companies and the Company's liquidity.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, the Board intends to pay ordinary dividends annually and extraordinary dividends as and when the Board feels it would be appropriate to do so. In particular, it is anticipated that ordinary dividends will be covered to a certain extent by dividends and interest from investee companies paid to the Company. Extraordinary dividends, will be one-off in nature and if paid in the future, will depend on various factors including but not limited to excess liquidity and divestments.

Georges Gagnebin, Chairman of Symphony said:

Following a challenging financial year in 2020 we are pleased to reinstitute Symphony's dividend policy. Aside from returning value to investors from the gains achieved by Symphony, we hope to encourage, attract and reward long-term ownership of the Company's shares. With the dividend payable in this announcement, the total amount distributed since 2014 will amount to US$279.6 million or US$0.4635 per share. As the business environment continues to improve, we expect the Company to realise additional investments and generate incremental liquidity to enhance returns to investors.
