Proposal of profit appropriation: As stated in the audited PRC financial statements of the Company for 2015, 10% of the profit after tax of RMB53.189 billion, equivalent to RMB5.319 billion, was transferred to the statutory surplus reserve, while 1.5% of the total amount of the increased risk assets in this reporting period, equivalent to RMB10.720 billion, was appropriated to the general reserve. Based on the total share capital of A Shares and H Shares on the record date for implementation of the profit appropriation, the Company proposed to declare a cash dividend of RMB6.90 (tax included) for every 10 shares to all shareholders of the Company, payable in RMB for holders of A Shares and in HKD for holders of H Shares. The retained profit will be carried forward to the next year. In 2015, the Company did not transfer any capital reserve into share capital. The above proposal of profit appropriation is subject to consideration and approval at the 2015 Annual General Meeting of the Company.
