The board of directors of Response Plus Holding, which provides remote health and emergency services, approved the distribution of Dh14 million ($3.8 million) in dividends to shareholders for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2022.

This follows the payout of Dh50 million as interim dividends in January, the company, a unit of Alpha Dhabi Holding, said in a statement on Saturday.

The decision was taken during the company’s annual general assembly.

Shareholders will receive Dh0.07 per share, with the total amount of dividends constituting 7 per cent of the company’s share capital, it said.

“This is the second time that RPM is distributing dividends to shareholders this year, after the interim dividends,” Tom Louis, chief executive of Response Plus Holding, said.

“As we carry on with our regional and global expansion, we promise our shareholders more rewarding results in the coming months and years. Through our long-term business plans, we commit to diversifying our portfolio and delivering quality health care services to more than a million people in 45 countries.”

Response Plus, which manages more than 260 clinics, has the largest private fleet of ambulances in Abu Dhabi.

The company, founded in 2010, listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange's Second Market in September 2021.

It is focused on expanding in Saudi Arabia, India and Egypt. The company opened a health technology centre in Dubai last April to improve teaching methods and learning through support for professional development.

Alpha Dhabi Holding, listed on the ADX, is a subsidiary of the emirate’s International Holding Company. It was established in 2013 and is one of the fastest-growing investment holding companies based in the capital, with more than 100 businesses across health care, agriculture, petrochemicals, property, construction and hospitality.

The last entitlement date to receive the dividends has been set for May 4, the ex-dividends date on May 5, the registry closing date on May 8, and the payment date on May 29, according to the statement.

Some of Darwish's last words

"They see their tomorrows slipping out of their reach. And though it seems to them that everything outside this reality is heaven, yet they do not want to go to that heaven. They stay, because they are afflicted with hope." - Mahmoud Darwish, to attendees of the Palestine Festival of Literature, 2008

His life in brief: Born in a village near Galilee, he lived in exile for most of his life and started writing poetry after high school. He was arrested several times by Israel for what were deemed to be inciteful poems. Most of his work focused on the love and yearning for his homeland, and he was regarded the Palestinian poet of resistance. Over the course of his life, he published more than 30 poetry collections and books of prose, with his work translated into more than 20 languages. Many of his poems were set to music by Arab composers, most significantly Marcel Khalife. Darwish died on August 9, 2008 after undergoing heart surgery in the United States. He was later buried in Ramallah where a shrine was erected in his honour.
