Announcement on D-share Dividend
The company’s annual general meeting of 28 June 2022 resolved to distribute, for each registered ordinary D-share, a
dividend per share in the amount of EUR 0.06534990 gross
dividend per share in the amount of EUR 0.05881491 less 10% withholding tax in China
payable as of 23 August 2022
for the 2021 financial year. Shareholders entitled to dividends are those for whom shares in the company will be recorded on 22 August 2022 (record date).
The exchange rate of EUR 1 = RMB 7.0598 is based on the average exchange rate of the last five business days prior to the general meeting.
The company's shares will be listed “ex dividend” in the sub-segment of the regulated market with additional post-admission obligations on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Prime Standard) on 23 August 2022.
The dividend will generally be paid out via Clearstream Banking AG subject to a deduction of Chinese withholding tax of 10%. The Chinese withholding tax may generally be creditable against German income tax (Körperschaftsteuer/Einkommensteuer) on Chinese income or may be tax-deductible when determining the income.
A German entity paying out the investment income (i.e. as a general rule the respective custodian) will generally pay out the dividends of a company domiciled in the People's Republic of China to shareholders who are subject to unlimited tax liability in Germany after deduction of German investment income tax (Kapitalertragsteuer) (final withholding tax (Abgeltungsteuer)). The tax deduction generally amounts to 25% plus solidarity surcharge (Solidaritätszuschlag) at a rate of 5.5% (the effective tax rate thus being 26.375%) and church tax (Kirchensteuer), if applicable (depending on the individual denomination and the state of residence). The assessment base for investment income tax is the gross dividend.
