ICBC sets EGM for dividend, $488 bn bond issuance plan

Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) will hold its second Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of 2025 on Friday, November 28, 2025, at 2:50 PM in Beijing. Shareholders will vote on two key proposals: the 2025 interim profit distribution plan and the 2026 group financial bond issuance plan.

Under the 2025 interim profit distribution plan, ICBC proposes a cash dividend of yuan 0.1414 (tax inclusive) per 10 shares for ordinary shares, totaling yuan 50.396 bn. This represents 30.0% of the net profit attributable to parent company shareholders, which stood at yuan 168.103 bn for the first half of 2025. The H-share dividend payment date is scheduled for January 26, 2026. H-share shareholders will have the option to receive their interim dividend in yuan or an equivalent amount in HK$.

Additionally, the EGM will consider a proposal for the group to issue financial bonds up to yuan 488 bn (or equivalent in foreign currency) during 2026 to support business development and enhance liability management. The authorization for this bond issuance would be valid from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2026. The H-share register will be closed from November 25 to November 28, 2025, for EGM attendance eligibility.
