Bank of Communications proposes RMB13.8 bn interim dividend

Bank of Communications Co., Ltd. announced a proposed interim profit distribution for 2025, approved by its board of directors on August 29, 2025. The plan entails a cash dividend of RMB1.563 for every 10 shares, inclusive of tax, to be distributed to both H and A share registered shareholders. This distribution totals RMB13,811 million.

The proposed dividend is based on the bank's total ordinary shares of 88,363,784,223 as of June 30, 2025. This interim profit distribution does not include bonus shares or share capital increases from the capital accumulation fund and is subject to approval at the bank's general meeting.

The bank confirmed that if the total number of ordinary shares changes before the record date due to events like convertible bond conversions or share repurchases, the total cash dividend amount will remain constant, with per-share distribution adjusted accordingly. Further details on distribution dates, tax arrangements, and the H shares register closure will be announced separately.
