The latest announcement is out from Guoquan Food (Shanghai) Company., Ltd. Class H ( (HK:2517) ).

Guoquan Food (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. has approved a formal dividend policy aimed at creating a stable, sustainable shareholder return mechanism while balancing near-term payouts with the company’s long-term development. The policy, pending shareholder approval at the 2025 annual general meeting in April 2026, sets a framework for regular dividends and aligns profit distribution with the company’s operational and financial conditions.

The company plans, in principle, to pay dividends twice a year tied to annual and interim results, with the flexibility to issue special dividends in exceptional circumstances. From 2026 to 2028, subject to meeting cash distribution conditions and regulatory constraints, total annual cash dividends will be no less than 60% of net profit attributable to shareholders, signaling a meaningful commitment to returns while acknowledging PRC legal and accounting limits on distributable profits from subsidiaries.

The dividend policy allows distributions in cash, shares, or a combination, with a preference for cash where feasible to directly reward investors. In determining payouts, the board will weigh factors such as profitability, cash flow, capital expenditure needs, financing environment, industry characteristics, business stage, and any share repurchase activity, and will continue to review and adjust the policy as needed to reflect the company’s evolving circumstances.
