For almost all companies, the main issue for minority shareholders is low dividends, but TNK-BP Holding, which incorporates the Russian assets of the group, is an exception. The dividends paid by the company in 2008 grew 1.7 times up to 82.5 billion rubles. The holding will pay its shareholders nearly 100% of its revenues according to the Russian Accounting Principles (RSBU) and 42% according to the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US GAAP) (after conversion to US dollars at the current exchange rate).
