Solution

  1. Admire Ltd.'s Board of Directors proposed a Dividend Payable, which shareholders must approve at the Annual General Meeting. It is considered approved and declared by the organization only after it has received the necessary approval.
  2. The dividend must be paid in cash, not in kind, according to the provisions of the Companies Act. In the case of Admire Ltd., 1% of shareholders are receiving dividends in kind, which is illegal.
