Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 9.0% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Large one-off items impacting financial results. Reported Earnings • Nov 13
