PROPOSAL FOR PROFIT APPROPRIATION (INCLUDING THE PROPOSED DECLARATION

In connection with the profit appropriation proposal for FY2020, the Board proposed payment of the Final Dividend for FY2020 of RMB2.12 (tax inclusive) per Share to Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company on Tuesday, 8 June 2021.

According to the financial data prepared in accordance with the PRC Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards respectively, the profit after tax and minority interest for FY2020 amounted to RMB35,129.69 million and RMB35,163.54 million respectively. The Board proposed the appropriation of the profit for FY2020 as follows:

  1. pursuant to the requirements of the Articles, the Company shall appropriate 10% of the realized net profit after tax to the statutory surplus reserve, further appropriation to the statutory surplus reserve is not required when the cumulative appropriated amount for such reserve reaches above 50% of the registered capital of the Company. Since the amount of the Company's statutory surplus reserve has reached 50% of the registered capital of the Company, no appropriation will be made for FY2020;
  2. based on the Company's total number of issued Shares of 5,299,302,579 Shares as at 31 December 2020, the payment of a final dividend of RMB2.12 per Share (tax inclusive) is recommended. The total amount is RMB11,234.52 million.

For details of the profit appropriation proposal, please refer to the section headed "Report of the Directors" in the Company's annual report for FY2020.

The proposed payment of Final Dividend for FY2020 is subject to the approval by Shareholders at the AGM by way of an ordinary resolution.

As far as the Company is aware, as at the Latest Practicable Date, there was no arrangement under which any Shareholder has waived or agreed to waive any dividend proposed to be distributed for FY2020.

For non-resident individual shareholders (who are non-Hong Kong or Macau residents) whose names appear on the register of members of H Shares, the Company is required to follow the applicable tax laws and regulations as well as the guidance given by the PRC tax authorities and to withhold and pay (on behalf of such individual Shareholders) individual income tax at the rate of up to 20%, depending on factors such as the country of domicile of such individual Shareholders, whether any tax treaty is made between such country of domicile and the PRC, and whether any dividend tax is imposed on the relevant individual Shareholders.
