The Company may distribute dividends in cash or by other means that it considers appropriate. The declaration and payment of any dividends, as well as the amount thereof, will depend on a number of factors, including the Company’s operating results, cash flows, financial condition, capital adequacy ratio, cash dividends received from its subsidiaries, business prospects, statutory, regulatory and contractual restrictions on the Company’s declaration and payment of dividends, and other factors that the Board may consider relevant. Since its listing in 2016, the Company has distributed dividends to shareholders for nine consecutive years based on a certain proportion of its annual profits, demonstrating its commitment to delivering shareholder returns and actively contributing to society.
