Ooredoo Announces Its Readiness to Distribute Dividends for the First Time.. Closing the License Fee File Strengthens Capital Structuring and Paves the Way for Dividend Distribution in 2026

SadaNews - Ooredoo Palestine confirms that resolving the company’s license fee issue represents an important milestone in its journey, as the dispute over the license fees since the company's establishment has prevented it from distributing dividends to shareholders, despite achieving annual profits, since legally no distribution could occur before the settlement and financial restructuring were completed.

The company expressed its appreciation for the constructive cooperation shown by the governmental bodies in resolving this issue, which serves the public interest, supports growth and sustainability, and enhances the investment environment and stability of the telecommunications sector in Palestine.

In this context, the closure of this strategic file allows the company for the first time since its inception to begin distributing dividends for the year 2026, following the extinguishing of accumulated losses and restructuring of financial data on more realistic and sustainable bases, thereby enhancing the strength of the financial position and increasing investor confidence.

It is expected that adopting a dividend distribution policy for the first time will be a major catalyst for supporting the long-term growth of the stock and enhancing the market value for shareholders. The impacts of this step are not limited to the financial aspect alone but also reflect on the company’s ability to invest and expand, improve the quality of its services, and strengthen its leading presence in the telecommunications market in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, providing added value for its shareholders and subscribers.

Ooredoo Palestine reaffirms its steadfast commitment to continuing its role as a responsible national partner, and to further developing its network and upgrading its services, enhancing its efficiency, speed, and reliability, and consolidating its position as the first, strongest, and fastest choice for the Palestinian citizen in various governorates.
