SYNDIC will have a few operating subsidiaries. Given the philosophy of decentralised management, these companies will have autonomous boards of directors and management structures, and SYNDIC Group will only exert its influence through non-executive representation on the boards of these companies.

Syndic manages its investments on a decentralized basis, providing support rather than day-to-day management. The Syndic Board respects this model and the autonomy of separate legal entities. Support can be strategic, financial, or managerial, creating an environment for corporate transactions. This philosophy applies to all investee companies, regardless of the level of influence.

Shareholder agreements executed for SYNDIC associates and joint ventures where other significant shareholders are involved. These agreements protect its rights as shareholders and manage risks. In terms of these agreements, SYNDIC
Group has decision making involvement for a defined list of material matters of the businesses of these entities, such as the appointment or removal of directors, capital structure, business strategy, significant capital expenditure and mergers, acquisitions, and disposals.

As a responsible shareholder of the investee companies, SYNDIC Group shall be able to exercise its shareholder rights to ensure, as far as possible, that the entities concerned adhere to its requirements in respect of matters such as governance, internal controls, financial management, risk management, legal compliance, safety, health and environmental management, internal audit, ethics management, information management, stakeholder relationships, succession planning and sustainability.

Distribution to Shareholders

Dividend income and accrued interest are received centrally, with support and fund distributions provided to shareholders. Our goal is to offer a consistent annual dividend flow, protecting against inflation. In exceptional circumstances, Syndic may consider special dividends, share buy-backs, or unbundling investments to shareholders.

What We Commit?

The value and performance of the underlying investments, rather than the activities at the holding company level, will determine, to a large extent, the value created for an investment holding company’s shareholders. However, dealmaking at the holding company level can also add significant value.
