Guotai Junan Securities announces semi-annual cash dividend

Guotai Junan Securities announced its 2025 semi-annual equity distribution, approved by its 2024 annual general meeting and the seventh board of directors' sixth meeting on August 29, 2025. A cash dividend of 0.15 yuan (including tax) per A-share will be distributed to shareholders registered on the equity record date, October 27, 2025. The ex-dividend date and cash dividend payment date are both set for October 28, 2025.

The distribution will implement a differentiated payout strategy. Specifically, 115,303,000 A-shares held in the company's dedicated buyback account will not participate in this dividend distribution. This buyback constitutes approximately 0.65% of the total share capital. The cash dividend for A-shares held by qualified foreign institutional investors (QFII) and qualified foreign institutional investors (RQFII) will be subject to a 10% withholding tax, resulting in a net payout of 0.135 yuan per share.

According to a legal opinion by Haiwen & Partners, the differentiated distribution complies with relevant laws and regulations and does not harm the interests of Guotai Junan Securities or its shareholders. The ex-dividend reference price will be calculated based on the previous closing price minus the cash dividend, leading to a reference price of 18.48 yuan per share.
