• (b) Pursuant to Articles 172 and 173 of the Company’s Articles of Association, dividends payable to the Company’s shareholders shall be declared in Renminbi (“RMB”). Dividends payable to holders of the Company’s domestic shares shall be paid in RMB while dividends payable to holders of the Company’s H shares shall be paid in Hong Kong dollars.
