A tropical cyclone warning signal No. 8 was issued by the Hong Kong Observatory on 6 September 2024 and Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited announced that all trading sessions were cancelled on that date.

In order to qualify for the dividend for the second quarter, all valid documents for the transfer of shares accompanied by the relevant share certificates must be lodged with the Company’s Hong Kong branch share registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at Shops 1712- 1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong no later than 4:30 p.m. on Monday, 9 September 2024 (Beijing/ Hong Kong Time), for registration.

 

The record date for the holders of American depositary shares held by The Bank of New York Mellon was not affected and remains September 6, 2024.

 

Save as disclosed above, other information relating to the distribution of the dividend of the Company for the second quarter ended 30 June 2024, including the payment date for the holders of ordinary shares (September 17, 2024) and the payment date for the holders of ADSs (September 20, 2024), shall remain unchanged.
