Huatai Securities offers shareholders choice of interim dividend currency

Huatai Securities Co., Ltd. has announced a 2025 interim dividend of RMB 0.15 per share (tax inclusive) for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Registered shareholders will automatically receive their cash dividends in Hong Kong dollars unless they elect to receive them in renminbi. The option to elect renminbi is specifically for H shares, with Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Nominees Limited able to elect for part of its entitlement.

Shareholders wishing to receive the 2025 interim dividend in renminbi must complete and return the Dividend Currency Election Form to Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited by 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, November 25, 2025. Failure to submit the form by the deadline will result in the dividend being paid in Hong Kong dollars. Investors electing renminbi should ensure they have an appropriate bank account for renminbi cheque payment.

The relevant exchange rate for renminbi to HK dollars will be the average benchmark exchange rate announced by The People's Bank of China for five business days prior to the date of the 2025 first extraordinary general meeting.
