(A joint stock company incorporated in the People’s Republic of China with limited liability) (Stock Code: 06881)
RETURN PLAN FOR SHAREHOLDERS IN 3 YEARS AFTER INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING AND LISTING OF A SHARES OF CHINA GALAXY SECURITIES CO., LTD.
According to relevant requirements of the Circular on Further Implementing Matters Relevant to the Cash Dividend Distribution by Listed Companies (《關於進一步落實上市公司現 金分紅有關事項的通知》)issued by CSRC and the Circular on Further Improving Matters Relevant to the Cash Dividend Distribution by Listed Companies (《關於進一步完善上市公司現 金分紅有關事項的通知》)issued by Beijing Regulatory Bureau of CSRC, and taking into account the five-year strategic plan and other documents of China Galaxy Securities Co., Ltd. (the “Company”), the Board of the Company formulated the Return Plan for Shareholders in 3 Years after Initial Public Offering and Listing of Shares of China Galaxy Securities Co., Ltd. , which has been considered and approved at the fourth extraordinary general meeting of the Company of 2012.
In accordance with relevant requirements of the Guideline No.3 on Supervision and Administration of Listed Companies – Cash Dividends of Listed Companies (《上市公司監管指 引第 3 號 – 上市公司現金分紅》)issued by CSRC and the Guidelines on Distribution of Cash Dividends by Listed Companies (《上市公司現金分紅指引》) issued by Shanghai Stock Exchange, and in order to further clarify the Company’s plan for providing reasonable investment returns to Shareholders, improve the transparency and operability of decision-making on profit distribution and facilitate Shareholders to supervise the Company’s operation and profit distribution, the Board proposes to further refine the provisions regarding the policies of profit distribution in the Articles of Association of China Galaxy Securities Co., Ltd. (the “Articles of Association”), and has formulated the new Return Plan for Shareholders in 3 years after Initial Public Offering and Listing of A Shares of China Galaxy Securities Co., Ltd. (the “Plan”), the detailed contents of which are set out below:
I. Factors considered in formulating the Plan
The Company is committed to long-term and sustainable development. It establishes sustainable and stable return plan and mechanism for its investors on the basis of comprehensive analysis of the Company’s actual conditions of operation and development, Shareholders’ concerns and requirements, cost of social capital and external financing environment after taking into consideration its current and future profitability, cash flow position, stage of development, fund requirements for project investment, bank credit and debt financing environment, so as to make systematic arrangement for the profit distribution to ensure the continuity and stability of its profit distribution policies.
– 31 –
APPENDIX I RETURN PLAN FOR SHAREHOLDERS IN 3 YEARS AFTER INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING AND LISTING OF A SHARES OF CHINA GALAXY SECURITIES CO., LTD.
II. Principles for formulation of the Plan
Subject to relevant national laws and regulations and the Articles of Association, returns to investors, continuity and stability of the Company’s profit distribution policies, as well as the Company’s long-term interests, the overall interests of all shareholders and the Company’s sustainable development are fully considered in formulating this plan. The Company shall fully consider the opinions of independent directors and public investors in the study, demonstration and decision-making process of its profit distribution policies.
III. Concrete Plan of Shareholders’ Return in the 3 Years after Listing
-
The Company may distribute dividends in cash, shares or in a combination of cash and shares. The Company shall prioritize profit distribution by way of cash dividend if it satisfies the relevant conditions. If the relevant conditions are satisfied, interim profit distribution may be made by the Company.
-
Save for any significant capital expenditure arrangement of the Company or other special circumstances approved at the general meeting, if the Company makes profit for the year and its accumulative undistributed profit is positive, the profit to be distributed in cash per annum should not be less than 10% of the distributable profit of the parent company realized in that year.
-
The Board shall take into account various factors such as features of the industries where the Company operates, stage of development, its own business model, profitability and whether there is significant capital expenditure arrangement, to distinguish the following situations and put forward differentiated cash dividend policies in accordance with the procedures as required by the Articles of Association:
-
(1) If the Company is at the mature stage of development and has no significant capital expenditure arrangement, the proportion of cash dividends in the profit distribution shall be at least 80% when the profit distribution is made;
-
(2) If the Company is at the mature stage of development and has significant capital expenditure arrangement, the proportion of cash dividends in the profit distribution shall be at least 40% when the profit distribution is made;
-
(3) If the Company is at the growing stage and has significant capital expenditure arrangement, the proportion of cash dividends in the profit distribution shall be at least 20% when the profit distribution is made;
-
(4) If it is difficult to distinguish the Company’s stage of development but if it has significant capital expenditure arrangement, the profit distribution may be dealt with pursuant to the preceding provisions.
– 32 –
APPENDIX I RETURN PLAN FOR SHAREHOLDERS IN 3 YEARS AFTER INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING AND LISTING OF A SHARES OF CHINA GALAXY SECURITIES CO., LTD.
Significant capital expenditure includes major investment and other significant capital expenditure. Major investment refers to the foreign investment or capital expenditure of which the gross amount of an one-off total investment (or total disposed assets) or total accumulative investment (or total disposed assets) within four months reaches 10% of the Company’s latest audited net assets, or 5% of the Company’s latest audited own assets (whichever reaches first); other significant capital expenditure refers to other one-off total expenditures reach 10% of the Company’s latest audited net assets, or 5% of the Company’s latest audited own assets (whichever reaches first).
The Company is currently at the growing stage. If there is significant capital expenditure arrangement in next twelve months, the proportion of cash dividends in the profit distribution shall be at least 20% when the profit distribution is made. If there is no significant capital expenditure arrangement in next twelve months, the proportion of cash dividend shall be at least 40% when the profit distribution is made.
-
If any of the following events occurs, and on the condition that this will not contravene any relevant laws and regulations, the Company may adjust the proportion of cash dividends after the approval at the general meeting by way of special resolution:
-
(1) When there is any change or adjustment to the relevant laws or regulations.
-
(2) When alert arises from risk control indicators of net capital. Under the prevailing regulatory background of taking net capital as a core indicator in securities industry, the Company, when making the profit distribution plan, shall fully evaluate the impact of the profit distribution plan on its risk control indicators and business operation, and conduct sensitivity analysis to ensure such indicators shall be not lower than the criteria specified in the Measures for the Administration of Risk Control Indicators of Securities Companies (《證券公司風險控制指標管理辦法》)after the plan is implemented. If any alert from risk control indicators arises due to profit distribution size and further affects the size and development of various businesses of the Company, the proportion of profit distribution shall be adjusted.
-
Where the Company is under a good operating condition, and the Board considers that the share price of the Company does not reflect its share capital size and distributing dividends in shares will be in the interest of all Shareholders of the Company as a whole, the Company may carry out profit distribution through payment of dividends in shares taking into account genuine and reasonable factors such as the cash flow position, business growth and net asset value per share of the Company.
