Sat, 21st Jul 2012 16:43 MOSCOW, July 21 (Reuters) - BP has proposed Russia's No.3 oil company TNK-BP would pay $1 bill
ion in dividend attributable to 2012 income, TNK-BP said in a statement on Saturday.
Directors who represent the AAR consortium in TNK-BP said they would study BP's proposal and make a decision within a week, the statement said.
In May, TNK-BP, half-owned by BP, said it postponed a decision on a dividend pay out for the first quarter of 2012 due to a lack of a board quorum.
