Laobaixing Pharmacy announces third quarter cash dividend for A-share holders

Laobaixing Pharmacy Chain JSC has announced its third-quarter 2025 equity distribution, with a cash dividend of 0.14 yuan per share (including tax) for A-share holders. The total cash dividend to be distributed amounts to 106,244,633.04 yuan. The dividend distribution plan was approved by the company's board of directors, authorized by the 2024 annual general meeting on June 30, 2025.

The equity registration date for the dividend is November 11, 2025, with the ex-dividend date and cash dividend payment date both scheduled for November 12, 2025. Dividends for shareholders with restricted shares and those holding through Hong Kong Stock Connect will be subject to a 10% withholding tax, resulting in a net cash dividend of 0.126 yuan per share. Other institutional and corporate investors will receive the full 0.14 yuan per share, with tax obligations to be determined by the recipients.

For individual investors holding unrestricted shares, no withholding tax will be applied initially. Instead, the final tax amount will be calculated based on the holding period of the shares upon their sale. Varying tax rates will apply depending on whether the shares are held for less than one month, between one month and one year, or over one year.
