The Company and all members of the Board of Directors hereby certify that the contents of this announcement are true, accurate, and complete, and that there are no false records, misleading statements, or material omissions. |
Bingshan Cold & Heat Technology Co., Ltd. (the “Company”)’s 2021 annual profit distribution plan was approved at the Company’s 2021 Annual General Meeting held on May 18, 2022. Should the Company’s total share capital change prior to the implementation of the profit distribution, the distribution will be carried out on the principle that the total distribution amount remains unchanged. From the date of disclosure of the profit distribution plan to the date of its implementation, the Company’s total share capital has remained unchanged. The profit distribution plan being implemented this time is consistent with the distribution plan approved by the General Meeting. The period between the approval of the distribution plan by the General Meeting and its implementation does not exceed two months. The details of the profit distribution are hereby announced as follows:
