China Communications Construction adjusts 2025 interim dividend plan

China Communications Construction Company Limited has updated its pre-dividend plan for 2025, adjusting the cash dividend per share following a reduction in its total share capital. The company, which initially proposed a cash dividend of not less than RMB0.11756 per share (HKD0.12903 per share) based on 16,278,611,425 shares, will now distribute RMB0.11780 per share (HKD0.12929 per share). This adjustment reflects a decrease in the number of shares entitled to profit distribution to 16,245,298,325.

The total proposed cash dividend remains unchanged at approximately RMB1.914 bn, representing about 20% of the net profit attributable to parent company shareholders for the first half of 2025. This change follows the proposed cancellation of 3,967,200 restricted shares and the exclusion of 29,345,900 A shares held in the company's special account for repurchase. The ex-dividend date is 01 December 2025, with a record date of 08 December 2025 and a payment date of 09 January 2026.

Withholding tax at a rate of 10% will be applied to non-resident enterprise shareholders, and 10% for non-resident individual H Shareholders generally. This adjustment aligns with the company's Cash Dividend Plan (2025-2027) and is not expected to significantly impact its operating cash flow or long-term development.
