The Annual Report and its extracts were considered and approved by the Board on 26 March 2026 and will be submitted, by way of ordinary resolution, for the Shareholders’ consideration and approval at the AGM.
4. PROFIT DISTRIBUTION PROPOSAL FOR 2025
An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to approve the proposed profit distribution proposal for the year ended 31 December 2025 in accordance with the Articles of Association.
ShineWing Certified Public Accountants (Special General Partnership) (“ShineWing (Domestic)”), after audits, confirmed that the net profit of the parent company for 2025 was RMB1,164,809,720.10 (under the Chinese Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises). In accordance with the requirements of the Company Law and the Articles of Association, the cumulative profit of the parent company available for distribution to the Shareholders as of 31 December 2025 was RMB5,864,032,036.48 under the Chinese Accounting Standards, which was calculated by appropriating 10% of the net profit into its statutory reserve fund of RMB116,480,972.01, plus the undistributed profit of RMB6,790,268,869.21 for the beginning of the year and deducting the 2024 cash dividends of RMB662,067,569.70, the 2025 interim cash dividends of RMB805,216,390.13 and withdrawing the interest on perpetual bonds of RMB507,281,620.99 during the year. After comprehensive consideration of the Company’s future business development requirements and emphasis on reasonable investment returns to investors, the Company’s profit distribution proposal for 2025 is as follows:
For 2025, it is proposed that a cash dividend of RMB1.80 per 10 Shares (tax inclusive) be distributed, as of 26 March 2026, the Company had a total share capital of 4,609,929,525 Shares, and the proposed payment of cash dividend in the amount of RMB829,787,314.50 (tax inclusive) is calculated on such basis. The remaining undistributed profits are carried forward for the subsequent annual distribution.
The Company implemented the 2025 interim profit distribution in October 2025, distributing a cash dividend of RMB1.7467 per 10 Shares to all Shareholders (the Company completed the placing of H shares on 9 September 2025. After the placing, the total share capital of the Company increased from 4,473,429,525 Shares to 4,609,929,525 Shares. In compliance with the principle of keeping the total cash dividend amount unchanged, the Company adjusted the per Share distribution amount for the 2025 interim profit distribution. After the adjustment, the cash dividend per 10 Shares was adjusted from RMB1.80 to RMB1.7467), with a total cash dividend distribution of RMB805,216,390.13.
In summary, after consolidating the estimated cash dividends to be distributed this time and 2025 interim profit distribution implemented, the Company’s total cash dividends for 2025 were RMB3.5467 per 10 Shares (tax inclusive), amounting to RMB1,635,003,704.63 (tax inclusive), and representing 38.63% of the net profit attributable to ordinary Shareholders of the listed company after deducting perpetual bond interest in the 2025 consolidated financial statements.
The Company proposes that if the Company’s total share capital changes before the equity registration date for the implementation of the equity distribution, the total dividends shall remain unchanged, the amount of distribution per Share shall be adjusted accordingly, and any such specific adjustments will be separately announced.
The Company’s undistributed profit of 2025 will be carried forward to the following year and will all be used in corporate operation and development. The use of undistributed profit is beneficial to implement the development strategies of the Company, and enhance the comprehensive competitiveness and sustainable profitability of the Company in the future.
The dividend will be denominated and declared in RMB, and distributed to the domestic Shareholders and investors participating in the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect Program in RMB and to the overseas Shareholders in Hong Kong dollar. The exchange rate for the dividend calculation in Hong Kong dollar is based on the middle rate as published by the PBOC on the date on which the AGM is held.

Taxation
According to the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the PRC («中華人民共和國企業所得稅法») and its implementation regulations (the “EIT Law”), the tax rate of the enterprise income tax applicable to the income of a non-resident enterprise deriving from the PRC is 10%. For this purpose, any H Shares registered under the name of non-individual enterprise, including the H Shares registered under the name of HKSCC Nominees Limited, other nominees or trustees, or other organizations or entities, shall be deemed as Shares held by non-resident enterprise Shareholders (as defined under the EIT Law). The Company will distribute the dividend to those non-resident enterprise Shareholders subject to a deduction of 10% enterprise income tax withheld and paid by the Company on their behalf.
Any resident enterprise (as defined under the EIT Law) which has been legally incorporated in the PRC or which was established pursuant to the laws of foreign countries (regions) but has established effective administrative entities in the PRC, and whose name appears on the H Shareholders’ register of the Company should deliver a legal opinion ascertaining its status as a resident enterprise furnished by a qualified PRC lawyer (with the official chop of the law firm issuing the opinion affixed thereon) and relevant documents to the Company’s H share registrar, Tricor Investor Services Limited, in due course, if they do not wish to have the 10% enterprise income tax withheld and paid on their behalf by the Company.
Pursuant to the Notice on the Issues on Levy of Individual Income Tax after the Abolishment of Guoshuifa (1993) No. 045 Document («關於國稅發 (1993) 045號文件廢止後有關個人所得稅徵管問題的通知») (the “Notice”) issued by the State Administration of Taxation on 28 June 2011, the dividend to be distributed by the PRC non-foreign invested enterprise which has issued shares in Hong Kong to the overseas resident individual Shareholders, is subject to the individual income tax with a tax rate of 10% in general. However, the tax rates for respective overseas resident individual Shareholders may vary depending on the relevant tax agreements between the countries of their residence and Mainland China. Thus, 10% individual income tax will be withheld from the dividend payable to any individual H Shareholders whose names appear on the H Shareholders’ register of the Company on the record date, unless otherwise stated in the relevant taxation regulations, tax treaties or the Notice.
The Company will not be liable for any claim arising from any delay in, or inaccurate determination of the status of the Shareholders or any disputes over the mechanism of withholding.
Profit Distribution to Investors of Northbound Trading
For investors of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (including enterprises and individuals) investing in the A Shares listed on the SSE (the “Northbound Trading”), their dividends will be distributed in RMB by the Company through the Shanghai Branch of China Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation Limited to the account of the nominee holding such Shares. The Company will withhold and pay income taxes at the rate of 10% on behalf of those investors and will report to the tax authorities for the withholding. For investors of Northbound Trading who are tax residents of other countries and whose country of domicile is a country which has entered into a tax treaty with the PRC stipulating a dividend tax rate of lower than 10%, those enterprises and individuals may, or may entrust a withholding agent to, apply to the competent tax authorities for the entitlement of the rate under such tax treaty. Upon approval by the tax authorities, the paid amount in excess of the tax payable based on the tax rate according to such tax treaty will be refunded.
The record date and the date of distribution of cash dividends and other arrangements for the investors of Northbound Trading will be the same as those for the A Shareholders.
Profit Distribution to Investors of Southbound Trading
For investors of the SSE and Shenzhen Stock Exchange (including enterprises and individuals) investing in the H Shares listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (the “Southbound Trading”), the cash dividends for the investors of H Shares of Southbound Trading will be paid in RMB.

As for the relevant taxation policies, pursuant to the relevant requirements under the Notice on the Tax Policies Related to the Pilot Program of the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect (Caishui [2014] No. 81) (《關於濕港股票市場交易互聯互通機制試點有關稅收政策的通知(財稅[2014]81號)》) and the Notice on the Tax Policies Related to the Pilot Program of the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect (Caishui [2016] No. 127) (《關於深港股票市場交易互聯互通機制試點有關稅收政策的通知(財稅[2016]127號)》), for dividends received by domestic individual investors from investing in the H Shares listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange through Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect, the Company shall withhold and pay individual income tax at the rate of 20% on behalf of the investors. For dividends received by domestic securities investment funds from investing in the H Shares listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange through Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect, the tax payable shall be the same as that for individual investors. The Company will not withhold and pay the income tax of dividends for domestic enterprise investors and those domestic enterprise investors shall report and pay the relevant tax themselves.

I actively communicated with the external auditors on the audit arrangement plan and key concerns, carefully reviewed the Company's financial accounting work, and examined the periodic reports and the announcements on estimated increases in the results prepared by the Company.

Upon review, I am of the view that the appointed General Manager, Board Secretary and Chief Financial Officer all possess the relevant professional knowledge, can meet the requirements of their respective positions, and comply with relevant qualification rules. I have not identified any circumstances that would disqualify them under relevant laws and regulations, nor have I identified any circumstances where they have been determined by the CSRC as persons prohibited from entering the market from which they have not yet been released.

I am of the view that the Company has established and effectively implemented a set of internal control systems that can fully cover all its financial and operational management activities, thereby effectively controlling corporate risks and providing strong support for the Company to achieve its development strategy.
(III) Appointment and Dismissal of Auditors Engaged in Auditing of Listed Companies
On 27 March 2025 and 11 June 2025, the Company held successively the 71st meeting of the sixth session of the Board and the 2024 annual general meeting, at which the Resolution Regarding the Re-Appointment of Auditor for 2025 of the Company was considered and approved to re-appoint ShineWing Certified Public Accountants (Special General Partnership) and SHINEWING (HK) CPA Limited as the Company’s 2025 A-share and H-share financial audit institutions respectively, and to re-appoint ShineWing Certified Public Accountants (Special General Partnership) as the Company’s internal control auditor for 2025.
In light of the substantial convergence of financial reports prepared under Chinese Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises and International Financial Reporting Standards, and for the purpose of improving work efficiency, the Company successively held the 74th meeting of the sixth session of the Board and the third extraordinary general meeting of 2025 on 28 July 2025 and 14
August 2025, at which the Proposed Alignment in Preparation of Financial Reports in Accordance with the China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises and Proposed Termination to Re-appoint H-Share Financial Report Auditor was considered and approved. Commencing from the 2025 semi-annual financial report, the Company has uniformly adopted Chinese Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises in the preparation of its financial reports and has terminated the re-appointment of SHINEWING (HK) CPA Limited as the Company's H-share financial report auditor, and has appointed the domestic audit firm, ShineWing Certified Public Accountants (Special General Partnership), as the Company's H-share financial report auditor.
I am of the view that the Company's unified adoption of Chinese Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises in the preparation of its financial reports and the disclosure of relevant financial information will not have any material impact on the Company's results or financial condition. The domestic audit firm, ShineWing Certified Public Accountants (Special General Partnership), has the qualifications to provide audit services to H-share companies, can adhere to the principles of independence, objectivity and fairness, strictly conduct audit work in accordance with the auditing standards for certified public accountants, and perform its duties diligently and conscientiously. The relevant procedures for terminating the re-appointment of the H-share auditor, SHINEWING (HK) CPA Limited, comply with laws, regulations, regulatory rules and the actual needs of the Company. When considering this matter, the Board strictly followed the requirements of relevant laws and regulations and the provisions of the Articles of Association, and the decision-making procedure was lawful and compliant, with no harm to the interests of the Company and its minority Shareholders.
(IV) Remuneration of Directors and Senior Management

Except for Independent Directors, other Directors and Supervisors receive remuneration for holding management positions in the controlling Shareholder Shandong Gold Group Co., Ltd. or the Company, and no additional remuneration is paid to them by the Company. The Company held a Board meeting on 27 March 2025, at which the Resolution on the Company's 2024 Senior Management Remuneration Payment and the Resolution on the Company's 2025 Senior Management Remuneration Plan were considered and approved. I am of the view that the Company's 2024 senior management remuneration payment is determined in accordance with the Company's current remuneration system, the performance of the senior management, the Company's actual operating performance, and target performance appraisal. The remuneration payment procedure complies with relevant laws and regulations and the Articles of Association, rules and regulations, etc. The Company's senior management's 2025 remuneration plan is scientific and reasonable and in line with the needs of the Company's long-term development. The review procedures are in compliance with the relevant provisions of the Articles of Association and the Terms of Reference of the Remuneration and Appraisal Committee of the Board, with no harm to the interests of the Company and its Shareholders.

(V) Nomination or Appointment of Directors and Appointment or Dismissal of Senior Management

Upon review, the Company conducted prior examinations of the qualifications, professional experience and other relevant matters of the director candidates. I am of the view that the elected directors all possess the relevant professional knowledge, can meet the requirements of their respective positions, and comply with relevant qualification rules. I have not identified any circumstances that would disqualify them under relevant laws and regulations, nor have I identified any circumstances where they have been determined by the CSRC as persons prohibited from entering the market from which they have not yet been released. The nomination and election procedures were lawful and compliant.
(VI) External Guarantee and Funds Appropriation
In accordance with the Guidelines for the Supervision and Administration of Listed Companies No.8 - Supervision Requirements for Capital Transactions and External Guarantees of Listed Companies, as well as the relevant provisions of the Articles of Association and the Decision-making System for External Guarantees of the Company, I have verified the external guarantees and capital occupation of the Company. During the Reporting Period, the Board of Directors considered and approved resolutions regarding guarantees, including the Resolution Regarding the Estimated Guarantee Facility Provided by Shanjin International (A Controlling Subsidiary of the Company) for its Subsidiaries, the Resolution on Providing Guarantees between Wholly-owned Subsidiaries of Shanjin International (a Controlling Subsidiary of the Company), the Resolution Regarding the Company's Guarantee Facility for the Hong Kong Subsidiary for 2025 and the Resolution on Providing Guarantees for Hong Kong Wholly-owned Subsidiary's Financing.
I am of the view that the Company was able to strictly comply with the Articles of Association and relevant laws and regulations. All guarantees provided were guarantees provided by the Company to its wholly-owned subsidiaries and guarantees provided by Shanjin International Gold Co., Ltd. (a controlling subsidiary) to its holding subsidiaries, all of which were within the limits approved by the Shareholders' meeting. No guarantees were provided to the controlling Shareholder, actual controller or their affiliates. The above guarantees are conducive to satisfying the working capital requirements of Shandong Gold and its subsidiaries, and are in the interests of the Company as a whole, and will not damage the interests of the Company and Shareholders. In 2025, the Company did not have any non-compliant guarantees or misappropriation of non-operating funds by controlling Shareholders.
(VII) Use of proceeds
The Resolution of the Company on Using Idle Proceeds to Temporarily Supplement Working Capital was considered and approved at the 7th meeting of the seventh session of the Board held on 8 December 2025. It was agreed that the Company could use no more than RMB500 million of the proceeds to temporarily supplement working capital, which is only used for production and operation related to the main business, with a usage period not exceeding 12 months. I am of the view that the use of idle proceeds by the Company to temporarily replenish working capital does not conflict with the investment projects for which the funds were raised, and does not affect the normal progression of the Company’s funded investment projects. The temporary replenishment of working capital was carried out with a clearly defined usage period, and the funds were returned on time in strict accordance with relevant regulations. In terms of the management of the deposit and use of proceeds, the Company duly complied with relevant laws and regulations, performed the necessary review and decision-making procedures, and fulfilled its information disclosure obligations in a timely and accurate manner. The Company did not change or change in a disguised manner the use of proceeds, nor did it have any non-compliance in the deposit or use of proceeds.
(VIII) Cash Dividend and Other Returns to Investors
On 27 March 2025 and 11 June 2025, the 71st meeting of the sixth session of the Board and the 2024 annual general meeting were held successively, at which the Profit Distribution Proposal for 2024 of the Company and the Resolution Regarding the Company Proposing to the General Meeting to Authorize the Board to Formulate and Implement the 2025 Interim Dividend Distribution Plan were considered and approved. In 2024, the Company paid the cash dividend of RMB1.48 (tax inclusive) per 10 shares to all Shareholders, with the total cash dividend of RMB662 million. When aggregated with the 2024 interim profit distribution already implemented, the total cash dividend for 2024 was RMB2.28 (tax inclusive) per 10 shares, with a total cash dividend payout of approximately RMB1,020 million, representing 40.05% of the net profit attributable to ordinary Shareholders of the listed company after deducting perpetual bond interest in the 2024 consolidated financial statements.
The Company held the 2nd meeting of the seventh session of the Board on 27 August 2025, at which the Profit Distribution Plan for the First Half of 2025 was considered and approved. The total interim cash dividend for 2025 was approximately RMB805 million, representing 31.45% of the net profit attributable to ordinary Shareholders of the listed company after deducting perpetual bond interest for the period.
- II-15 -
I am of the view that the Company has comprehensively considered factors such as industry characteristics, development stage and profitability level, and the profit distribution is in line with the cash dividends policy formulated by the Company. It fully embodies the principle of reasonable return to Shareholders and is conducive to the healthy, stable and sustainable development of the Company, without prejudice to the interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole. It complied with the Company Law and other laws, regulations and regulatory documents.
(IX) Performance of Undertakings of the Company and its Shareholders

All interested Directors abstained from voting in accordance with the regulations and submitted their voting opinions. Upon review, the transaction activities conducted by the Company with its connected parties were all for the actual needs of normal operations and business development, and fell within the scope of routine commercial transactions. The relevant connected transactions were priced with reference to market prices, and the pricing was fair and reasonable. The decision-making authority and review procedures strictly complied with the requirements of laws, regulations and the Articles of Association, and were lawful and compliant. The transactions did not harm the interests of the Company, nor will they have any adverse impact on the Company's current and future financial condition or operating results, thereby effectively safeguarding the independence of the Company and the legitimate rights and interests of minority Shareholders.
During the Reporting Period, I paid close attention to and supervised the Company's financial information contained in the financial and accounting reports and periodic reports. I actively communicated with the external auditors on the audit arrangement plan and key concerns, carefully reviewed the Company's financial accounting work, and examined the periodic reports and the announcements on estimated increases in the results prepared by the Company. Upon verification, there is no significant difference between the results forecast issued by the Company and the results disclosed in the regular report.

However, there may still be some risks in the course of business:
-
Operational risks: Hedging business takes professional skills, and the trading is complex. An incomplete internal control mechanism, trading system failures or mistakes may cause risks.
-
Market risks: Due to the significant volatility in the futures and derivatives markets, there may be inconsistency between the price movements of futures or derivatives and spot prices, resulting in reduced effectiveness or ineffectiveness of hedging and affecting the hedging results.
-
Liquidity risks: Futures trading operates on a margin and daily mark-to-market system. In the event that an exchange significantly increases trading margin requirements or the market continues to move against the Company's positions, the Company will need to promptly replenish trading margin or settlement reserves, which may expose the Company to liquidity risks; the contracts held by the Company may be subject to the risk of forced liquidation due to insufficient trading margin or failure to meet margin calls in a timely manner.
-
Credit risks: During the conduct of the business, a counterparty may default and fail to perform the transaction as agreed, thereby causing losses to the Company.
(II) Risk Control Measures
-
The Company has formulated related management systems such as the Self-produced Gold Hedging Management Measures and the Bulk Trade Business Hedging Management Measures, which clarify business principles, organizational structure and responsibilities, business procedures, risk control, information disclosure, confidentiality and file management, and continuously strengthened its internal control management.
-

At the same time, the Company has established qualified trading, communication and information service facilities and systems to ensure the effective conduct of futures and derivatives transactions.
-
The Company strictly manages authorization, rigorously controlling the trading scale, varieties and tenor within the approved limits, and shall not conduct transactions beyond its authority or limits. The Company implements a separation system for incompatible positions, and is equipped with professional clearing risk control positions to promptly evaluate the operation of hedging business and continuously track changes in futures and derivatives prices, ensuring reasonable control of funds.
-
The Company trades futures and derivatives on the Shanghai Gold Exchange, the Shanghai Futures Exchange, the New York Metal Exchange and other legitimate exchanges. The counterparties selected for over-the-counter trading are large qualified commercial banks, investment banks and other financial institutions or risk management companies, effectively avoiding credit risks related to trading.
RESOLUTION REGARDING THE CONDUCTING OF FUTURES AND DERIVATIVES TRANSACTIONS IN 2026
- The Company has established a major matter reporting system. Business personnel regularly report the business operation status to the Company’s management, and promptly report any abnormalities identified, alert risks and activate the corresponding risk warning mechanism according to the specific circumstances.
III. ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The Company applies corresponding accounting treatments for the commodity and foreign exchange hedging business it intends to engage in in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments, the Accounting Standards for Enterprises No. 37 – Presentation and Reporting of Financial Instruments, the Accounting Standards for Enterprises No. 39 – Fair Value Measurement issued by the Ministry of Finance, as well as their application guidelines and other relevant provisions, shows the results in the relevant items of the balance sheet and the income statement.

(September 2025 Revision), the Company's Board of Directors hereby formulates the Shareholder Return Plan for the Next Three Years (2026-2028) (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"). The specific contents are as follows:
I. FACTORS CONSIDERED IN FORMULATING THE PLAN
In formulating the Plan, the Company focuses on long-term and sustainable development, taking into comprehensive consideration the Company's development strategy, current stage of development and operational plans, future profitability scale, cash flow conditions, capital needs for project investments, social cost of capital, and other actual circumstances of the Company's business operations as well as the external environment. On this basis, the Company is committed to balancing the reasonable return on investment for Shareholders with the long-term development of the Company, establishing a continuous, stable, and scientific return mechanism for investors, and thereby making systematic arrangements for profit distribution to ensure the continuity, reasonableness, and stability of the profit distribution policy.
II. PRINCIPLES FOR FORMULATING THE PLAN
The formulation of the Plan shall comply with relevant laws, regulations, regulatory documents, and the provisions of the Articles of Association relating to profit distribution. The Company implements a consistent and stable profit distribution policy. In its profit distribution, the Company places importance on providing reasonable returns on investment to Shareholders, while also balancing the Company's long-term interests, the interests of all Shareholders, and the Company's sustainable development. During the decision-making and deliberation process regarding the profit distribution policy, the Company's Board of Directors and Shareholders' Meeting shall communicate and engage with independent directors and Shareholders (particularly minority Shareholders), fully solicit and consider the opinions and demands of all parties, and promptly respond to their concerns.
APPENDIX VI
RESOLUTION REGARDING THE SHAREHOLDER RETURN PLAN FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS
(2026-2028)
III. SPECIFIC SHAREHOLDER RETURN PLAN FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS (2026-2028)
(I) Forms of Profit Distribution: The Company may distribute profits in the form of cash, shares, or a combination of cash and shares. When conditions for cash distribution are met, cash dividends shall take precedence over share dividends. The Company's cash dividend policy targets a residual dividend policy.
(II) Timing of Profit Distribution: The Company shall generally distribute profits on an annual basis. Interim profit (cash) distributions may also be made based on the Company's capital needs.
(III) Differentiated Cash Dividend Policy: When making actual dividend distributions, the Company's Board of Directors shall comprehensively consider factors such as the characteristics of the industry in which the Company operates, its development stage, its own business model, its profitability, and whether it has any major capital expenditure arrangements. The Board shall differentiate among the following circumstances and propose a differentiated cash dividend policy:
- If the Company is in a mature development stage and has no major capital expenditure arrangements, the minimum proportion of cash dividends in the total profit distribution shall be 80%;
- If the Company is in a mature development stage and has major capital expenditure arrangements, the minimum proportion of cash dividends in the total profit distribution shall be 40%;
- If the Company is in a growth stage and has major capital expenditure arrangements, the minimum proportion of cash dividends in the total profit distribution shall be 20%.
If the Company's development stage cannot be easily determined but there are major capital expenditure arrangements, the provisions of the preceding paragraph (item 3) shall apply. The proportion of cash dividends in the total profit distribution is calculated as cash dividends divided by the sum of cash dividends and share dividends. When conditions for cash distribution are met, the Company's Board of Directors may propose an interim cash distribution based on the Company's profitability and capital needs.
(IV) Cash Dividend Interval and Ratio: The Company shall distribute cash dividends at least once every three consecutive years. The specific distribution ratio shall be proposed by the Board of Directors based on the Company's operating conditions and relevant regulations of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, and shall be reviewed and decided by the Shareholders' Meeting.
The cumulative amount of profits distributed by the Company in cash over the most recent three years shall not be less than 30% of the average annual distributable profits achieved over those three years.
(V) Circumstances Under Which the Company May Forego Profit Distribution:
- The audit report for the most recent fiscal year is a qualified opinion, an adverse opinion, a disclaimer of opinion, or an unqualified opinion that includes a material uncertainty paragraph related to going concern;
- The net operating cash flow for the distribution year is negative;
- There are major investment plans or major cash expenditures (other than projects funded by raised capital). A major investment plan or major cash expenditure means that the Company's cumulative expenditure for external investments, asset acquisitions, or equipment purchases within the next twelve months reaches or exceeds 50% of the Company's latest audited net assets;
- The Company's asset-liability ratio exceeds 70%.
(VI) Conditions for Share Dividend Distribution:
If the conditions for cash dividend distribution are met, and the Company's operating income and net profit are growing rapidly, and the Board of Directors believes that the Company's share capital size and equity structure are reasonable, the Company may, in addition to proposing a cash dividend distribution plan, propose and implement a share dividend distribution plan.
(VII) Decision-Making Procedure for the Company's Profit Distribution Plan:
- The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for formulating the profit distribution plan. In the process of formulating the profit distribution plan, the Board of Directors shall conduct full discussions with the independent directors and the Audit Committee, and shall solicit opinions from public Shareholders through multiple channels and methods, and demonstrate the reasonableness of the profit distribution plan. The Board shall also carefully study and demonstrate matters such as the timing, conditions, minimum proportion of cash dividends, as well as the conditions for adjustment and related decision-making procedural requirements.
-
Before the Shareholders' Meeting reviews the specific cash dividend plan, the Company shall proactively communicate and engage with Shareholders, particularly minority Shareholders, through various means, fully solicit the opinions and demands of minority Shareholders, and promptly respond to issues of concern to them.
-
If an independent director believes that a specific cash dividend plan may harm the interests of the Company or minority Shareholders, such independent director shall have the right to express an independent opinion. If the Board of Directors does not adopt or does not fully adopt the opinion of an independent director, such opinion and the specific reasons for not adopting it shall be recorded in the board resolution and disclosed.
(VIII) Review Procedure for the Company’s Profit Distribution Plan:
- The Audit Committee reviews and approves the plan in accordance with the prescribed procedures;
- The Board of Directors reviews and approves the plan;
- The Shareholders’ Meeting reviews and approves the plan by way of an ordinary resolution. When the Shareholders’ Meeting discusses and reviews matters relating to profit distribution, it may, as needed, adopt methods such as online voting or establishing an investor communication platform on the Company’s website to provide public Shareholders with opportunities to express their opinions and demands.
(IX) Review Procedure for the Adjustment of the Company’s Profit Distribution Policy:
When significant changes occur in the Company’s external operating environment that materially affect the Company’s production and operations, or when the Company’s own operating conditions undergo substantial changes, such that the implementation of the current profit distribution policy may seriously impact the Company’s sustainable development, the Company may adjust the profit distribution policy for the relevant fiscal year in accordance with the following procedures:
- The Company’s Board of Directors shall be responsible for preparing a written reasoned report on the reasons for adjusting the profit distribution policy for the relevant fiscal year;
- The Audit Committee shall review and approve the adjustment by an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of its members;
- The Board of Directors shall review and approve the adjustment by an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of all directors;

After the Shareholders' Meeting has adopted a resolution on the profit distribution proposal, or after the Board of Directors has formulated a specific plan based on the conditions and cap for interim dividends for the following year approved by the annual general meeting, the distribution of dividends (or shares) shall be completed within two months. If, due to laws, regulations or the securities regulatory rules of the places where the Company's shares are listed, the specific plan cannot be implemented within two months, the implementation date of the specific plan may be adjusted accordingly in accordance with such rules and actual circumstances.
