ICBC sets extraordinary general meeting for profit distribution, bond issuance

Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) will convene its second extraordinary general meeting of shareholders for 2025 on 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 program. The meeting will accommodate both in-person attendance and online voting via the Shanghai Stock Exchange network voting system.

The 2025 interim profit distribution proposal recommends a cash dividend of 1.414 yuan per 10 shares, totaling 50.396 bn yuan, representing 30.0% of the net profit attributable to parent company shareholders in the first half of 2025 (1,681.03 bn yuan). The A-share record date is December 12, 2025, with payment on December 15, 2025, while H-share dividends will be paid on January 26, 2026. H-share shareholders will have the option to receive their dividends in yuan or an equivalent amount in HK$.

Additionally, shareholders will consider a proposal for the 2026 group financial bond issuance program. This plan seeks approval to issue financial bonds up to 488.0 bn yuan or its equivalent in foreign currency, excluding subordinated capital bonds, within domestic and international markets. The issuance aims to support business development and enhance liability management.
