    Following the approval by the shareholders of the Company at the AGM, the Board is pleased to announce that details relating to the payment of dividend of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020 (the "2020 Dividend") to H shareholders of the Company are as follows (Dividend payment to A shareholders will be announced separately).
    The Company will distribute the 2020 Dividend of RMB1.36 (tax inclusive) for every 10 shares on Friday, 9 July 2021 to the H shareholders whose names appear on the register of members on Monday, 31 May 2021. According to the Articles of Association of the Company, for H shareholders, the 2020 Dividend will be declared in Renminbi and paid in Hong Kong dollars. The actual amount of 2020 Dividend paid in Hong Kong dollars is calculated according to the average benchmark exchange rate of Renminbi against Hong Kong dollars as published by the People's Bank of China for the five business days preceding the date of AGM (i.e. RMB0.829722 against HK$1), being a final cash dividend of HK$1.639103 per 10 H shares (tax inclusive).

In order to determine the list of shareholders entitled to the 2020 Dividend, the H shares register of members of the Company will be closed from Wednesday, 26 May 2021 to Monday, 31 May 2021, (both days inclusive), during which period, no transfer of H shares will be effected. To be eligible to receive the 2020 Dividend, unregistered holders of H shares of the Company shall lodge relevant share transfer documents with the Company's H share registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong for registration not later than 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, 25 May 2021.

  1. WITHHOLDING AND PAYMENT OF INCOME TAX
    Withholding and Payment of Enterprise Income Tax for Overseas Non-resident Enterprise Shareholders
    According to the Circular on Questions Concerning Withholding and Payment of Enterprise Income
    Tax for Dividends Payable to Overseas Non-Resident Enterprise H Shareholders by Chinese Resident Enterprises (Guoshuihan [2008] No.897) (關於中國居民企業向境外H股非居民企業股東 派發股息代扣代繳企業所得稅有關問題的通知) issued by the State Administration of Taxation, enterprise income tax at the rate of 10% shall be levied on dividends paid in or after 2008 by Chinese resident enterprises to overseas H shareholders that are non-resident enterprises. If any non-resident enterprise shareholders would like to apply for a refund of the excessive amount of tax withheld and paid after receiving the dividend, the Company can assist the relevant shareholders to handle the application for the underlying preferential tax benefits pursuant to the tax treaties. Any shares registered in the name of the non-individual registered shareholders, including HKSCC Nominees Limited, other nominees, trustees or other groups and organizations will be treated as being held by non-resident enterprise shareholders and therefore will be subject to the withholding of the enterprise income tax. If H shareholders intend to change its shareholder status, please enquire about the relevant procedures with your agents or transferee agent. The Company will strictly comply with law or the requirements of the relevant government authority and withhold and pay enterprise income tax on behalf of the relevant shareholders based on the register of members for H shares of the Company as at Monday, 31 May 2021.
