Why did you discontinue the Shareholder Benefit Program?

BEENOS implemented its Shareholder Benefit Program so that shareholders could better understand BEENOS’s business model and to incentivize shareholders to be mid-long-term shareholders. We have decided that direct profit reduction such as dividends are fairer and more appropriate, thus the decision to discontinue the Shareholder Benefit Program has been made.
