PARTICULARS IN RESPECT OF THE SPECIAL INTERIM DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION

PLAN FOR 2020

Pursuant to the Articles of Association of Sinopec Corp., the amount of the half-yearly dividend distribution shall not exceed 50% of net profit for the half year period of the Company. In order to maintain continuity and steadiness of dividend distribution of the Company and considering the long-term development of the Company and overall interests of all shareholders, the board of directors of Sinopec Corp. (the "Board") has proposed the following to the EGM for consideration and approval: distribution of special interim dividend for the year 2020 of RMB0.07 per share (tax inclusive), which is calculated on the basis of the total share capital of the Company as of the record date for dividend distribution (i.e. 22 October 2020).

Subject to approval of the special interim dividend at the EGM, the special interim dividend shall be paid on or before 5 November 2020 to all shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of Sinopec Corp. on 22 October 2020. In order to be qualified for the special interim dividend, holders of H shares shall lodge their share certificates and transfer documents with Hong Kong Registrars Limited at Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong before 4:30 p.m. on 15 October 2020 for registration. The register of members of H shares of Sinopec Corp. will be closed from 16 October 2020 to 22 October 2020 (both days inclusive). The dividend will be denominated and declared in RMB and distributed to domestic shareholders and Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect shareholders in RMB and to foreign shareholders in Hong Kong Dollars. The exchange rate for dividend to be paid in Hong Kong dollars is based on the average benchmark exchange rate of RMB against Hong Kong Dollar as published by the People's Bank of China one week ahead of the date of declaration of the special interim dividend.
