Zain shareholders OK windfall dividend payout | Reuters

Zain's (ZAIN.KW) shareholders on Tuesday approved a $3 billion windfall payout for 2010 following the Kuwaiti telco's $9 billion sale of its African assets to India's Bharti Airtel.

Zain is also expected to announce a new board at its annual shareholder meeting on Tuesday.

UAE telecom firm Etisalat ETEL.AD scrapped its $12 billion offer to buy a controlling stake in Zain last month, citing Zain's divided board, extended due diligence and regional unrest.
