Hikvision proposes interim dividend and charter changes

Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology proposes a 2025 interim dividend of RMB 4.00 (tax inclusive) per 10 shares, with no stock dividends or capital reserve transfers. This plan, which will be based on the total share capital minus treasury stock on the equity registration date, requires shareholder approval. Based on preliminary estimates as of August 28, 2025, after accounting for treasury stock, the cash dividend is expected to total RMB 3.66 bn, representing approximately 64.80% of the company's first-half 2025 net profit attributable to shareholders.

The company also plans to revise its articles of association, subject to shareholder approval. Key changes include eliminating the supervisory board and supervisors, with the board's audit committee assuming their responsibilities. Additionally, Hikvision will reduce its registered capital from RMB 9,233,198,326 to RMB 9,164,871,550 due to the completion and cancellation of a share repurchase program involving 68,326,776 shares. The revisions also clarify that the company's chairman will serve as the legal representative.
