Dear Stakeholder,
We take this opportunity to convey our sincere gratitude to our loyal investors for electing to invest in the Bank's capital, both equity and debt, and wish to assure that we are taking every possible step to optimise returns for your investments through prudent and sustained growth. As one of the few Domestic Systemically Important Banks and the largest private sector Bank in the country, we are fully aware of our responsibility to present you with timely, relevant, and balanced view of the Bank's fundamentals in terms of operational results, financial position, and cash flows enabling you to make informed decisions. We trust that the information presented in this Annual Report helps investors to comprehend the Bank's underlying strengths and it also bolsters confidence and loyalty, bringing together a loyal group of investors with a long-term view of their investment.
The Bank always strives to encourage effective two-way communication with our valued investors promoting mutual trust and confidence besides ensuring the rights conferred on the investors by various statutes. We believe that these initiatives have enabled the Bank to actively engage with our investors in a consistent, comprehensive and accurate manner, often going beyond the minimum regulations and in the underlying spirit, promoting its reputation. The Bank follows a multi-faceted approach to engage with its stakeholders, including the Annual Report, which is the Bank's main investor communications tool, and the Annual General Meeting which is an opportunity available for the investor community to engage with the Bank. We firmly believe that these engagements will certainly help our investors to gain insight into the Bank's performance, strategic direction, and approach to governance and risk management strategies adopted.
This year too, the Bank took several initiatives to produce a concise integrated Annual Report which can be seen throughout each section of this Report, with due consideration being given to the valuable feedback given by our shareholders in response to the results of the surveys conducted and feedback provided in the past. Continuing this journey, this year too we have made arrangements to enclose a stakeholder feedback form in this Annual Report in order to seek your valuable suggestions and opinion for further improvements. Your comments and opinions are of great value to us. Many are taken on board and incorporated into our strategies for long-term value creation. The investor relations section of our website is another popular channel available for stakeholders and the Bank continues to ensure that its pages are updated in a timely manner along with the rest of the site.

We firmly believe that the Bank's efforts to have an effective communication and active engagement with important stakeholder groups have made the Bank's shares a creditable investment proposition, despite a very challenging economic and operating environment prevailed throughout the year primarily due to the outbreak of COVID-19 in the first quarter of the year. As you are aware, the stock market witnessed an unprecedented setback in its activities after being closed for almost two months and due to limiting trading of shares for just one hour a day initially by the regulators which was later relaxed by increasing the trading time to three and half hours compared to six hours of trading during the pre-pandemic period. However, this situation is in no manner extra-ordinary when compared with all other stock markets around the globe. Although the pandemic had an early shock resulting in both the ASPI and S&P SL20 declining by over 30% and 40%, respectively, both indices recovered remarkably and ended the year demonstrating its resilience by attracting record-breaking levels of trading activity, with a total turnover for the year of Rs. 397 Bn. which was also the highest since 2011. The ASPI closed 2020 on 6,774 points recording a growth of 10.52%, the highest annual increase the index has seen since 2014 and only the 12th occasion the index has seen a double-digit percentage growth in CSE's 35-year history. The ASPI on May 12, 2020 recorded its lowest point in over a decade but recovered from this to post a 59% gain by the end of the year. Although the S&P SL20 index, which features the CSE's 20 largest and most liquid stocks has declined by 10.18% in 2020, the index has recovered substantially indicating a trend similar to the ASPI with 57% growth since 12th May, closing the year at 2,638 points.
Despite, both the ASPI and S&P SL20 recovering as seen in the above graph, the banking sector shares did not follow the same trend, mainly due to the perceived uncertainties associated with the performance of banks owing to many relief programs offered to affected customers including moratoriums as mandated by the regulators. These factors contributed to the decline in the Bank's share price which traded at a discount to its book value at 0.60 times at the end of December 2020 (0.73 times in 2019). However, it continued to remain the highest among the peers in the Banking sector, and is a testament to our strong fundamentals and policy of sharing relevant information about our future prospects in addition to our current performance.
The Bank's public holding (free float) as at December 31, 2020 was 99.80% in voting shares (99.76% in 2019) and 99.84% in non-voting shares (86.62% in 2019) while float-adjusted market capitalisation (compliant under option-1 of the Rules on minimum public holding requirement of the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE)) amounted to Rs. 93 Bn. (Rs. 96 Bn. in 2019). As shown in Table 58, with its shares actively traded in the CSE, investors are provided with a convenient "enter and exit" mechanism. It is pertinent to mention that the Bank witnessed a sharp increase in the number of shareholders holding both voting and non-voting shares of the Bank during the year, which amply demonstrates the confidence placed by investors in the Bank's shares despite the trying conditions experienced during the year 2020.
This year too we are happy to inform you that the Bank has fully complied with all applicable requirements of Section 7.6 of the Listing Rules of the CSE on the contents of the Annual Report and Accounts of a listed entity.
Please refer Table 46 for a complete list of disclosure requirements and references to the relevant sections of this Annual Report where the Bank's compliance is disclosed together with the relevant page numbers.

Despite the continuous lacklustre performance of the bourse, there was continued investor interest in the shares of the Bank during the year, as depicted in the increased number of transactions (Ordinary shares - Voting 300% and Ordinary shares - Non-Voting 293%) compared to 2019 (Refer Table 51). Despite the early drop due to the outbreak of the Pandemic, the CSE concluded 2020 on a mixed note, the ASPI gaining by 10.52% from 6,129 in 2019 to 6,774 by the end of 2020, while the S&P SL20 closing 2020 on a negative note, decreasing by 10.18% from 2,937 in 2019 to 2,638 by the end of 2020.
The total market capitalisation of the CSE was at Rs. 2,960.65 Bn. and was above the level at the end of 2019 (Rs. 2,851.31 Bn). Local investors have contributed to approximately 79% of the total market turnover in 2020 which is higher when compared to approximately. 63% in 2019 and 55% the year prior to that. On the foreign investment front, 2020 has recorded a net foreign outflow of Rs. 51 Bn., largely in line with the foreign fund outflow trend recorded in emerging and frontier markets. However, it is noteworthy that Sri Lankan equities attracted purchases worth Rs. 53 Bn. during 2020 by foreign investors, ending close to the Rs. 56 Bn. recorded in 2019.
The Bank index reflected a drop of 16.11% during the year 2020 compared to a marginal drop in 2019.
The market price of an ordinary voting share of the Bank decreased by 19.10% (a drop of 17.39% in 2019) from Rs. 95 at the end of 2019 to Rs. 80.90 at the end of 2020 (Table 48). The Bank maintained its policy of issuing scrip dividends and continued with its Employee Share Option Plans. Market capitalisation for both voting and non-voting shares in turn decreased from Rs. 97 Bn. (USD 532.699 Mn.) in 2019 to Rs. 94 Bn. (USD 500.902 Mn.) in 2020, accounting for 3.16 % (3.40% in 2019) of the total market capitalisation. The Bank's shares ranked fifth among all listed entities and first among the listed corporates in the Bank, Finance and Insurance sector. During most of 2020, the movement of the non-voting share price followed the trend of the voting shares.

The declaration of a dividend should always ensure that a balance between the shareholders' needs and the business needs of the Bank is maintained. Although the Bank has been paying interim dividends in the past, for the year under review, the Bank did not pay any interim dividends. This was in compliance with the Banking Act Direction No. 03 of 2020, dated May 13, 2020, issued by the CBSL on 'Restrictions on Discretionary Payments of Licenced Banks', wherein licenced banks were requested to refrain from declaring cash dividends not already declared for financial year 2019, and any interim cash dividends for the financial year 2020 in view of the possible adverse impact on liquidity and other key performance indicators of banks. However, as per the Banking Act Direction No. 01 of 2021, dated January 19, 2021, issued by the CBSL on the same subject, licenced banks incorporated or established in Sri Lanka were instructed to defer payment of cash dividends until the financial statements for the year 2020 are finalised and audited by the external auditors. Accordingly, the Board of Directors of the Bank has now recommended a final dividend of Rs. 6.50 per ordinary share for both ordinary voting and non-voting shares of the Bank. This will be paid in the form of a cash dividend of Rs. 4.50 per share and Rs. 2.00 per share by the issue and allotment of new shares for both voting and non-voting shareholders of the Bank for the year ended December 31, 2020. It will be submitted for the approval of the shareholders at the 52nd AGM, to be held on March 30, 2021.
(A dividend of Rs. 6.50 per share was declared and paid by the Bank for the year ended December 31, 2019. It too consisted of a cash dividend of Rs. 4.50 per share and balance entitlement of Rs. 2.00 per share satisfied in the form of issue and allotment of new shares).
