Daqin Railway announces cash dividend, sets payment dates

Daqin Railway Company Limited has announced its 2025 interim equity distribution, approved by the board on August 27, 2025. The company will distribute a cash dividend of 0.08 yuan per share (including tax) to its A-shareholders. This distribution applies to shareholders registered with China Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation Limited Shanghai Branch as of the close of business on the equity registration date.

The total cash dividend to be distributed amounts to 1,611,774,217.28 yuan, based on the company's total share capital of 20,147,177,716 shares. The equity registration date for the dividend is October 23, 2025, with the ex-dividend date and cash dividend payment date both set for October 24, 2025.

For natural person shareholders and securities investment funds holding A-shares, no personal income tax will be withheld initially, with tax implications dependent on the holding period. Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (QFII) and Hong Kong Stock Connect investors will have a 10% withholding tax applied, resulting in a net cash dividend of 0.072 yuan per share. Other institutional and corporate shareholders will not have tax withheld by the company and are responsible for assessing their own tax obligations.
