LUBIN, Poland, June 21 (Reuters) - Shareholders in Polish state-run copper producer KGHM KGH.WA on Wednesday approved a dividend payout of 1 zlotys per share, in line with the management board's proposal.
The dividend, which amounts to a total of 200 million zlotys ($52.6 million), is the lowest KGHM payout since 2001.
KGHM, one of the world's biggest copper and silver producers, booked a net loss of more than 4 billion zlotys in 2016 after writing down the value of its foreign assets.
The Polish government, which holds a 31.8 percent stake in KGHM, has previously asked the company for higher dividends than management planned in an effort to boost state coffers. ($1 = 3.8047 zlotys)
