The 2017 annual profit distribution plan of Dalian Refrigeration Co., Ltd. (“the Company”) was approved at the Company’s 2017 Annual General Meeting held on May 18, 2018. From the date of disclosure of the profit distribution plan to the date of its implementation, the Company repurchased and cancelled 474,894 restricted shares under the 2015 Restricted Stock Incentive Plan, resulting in a reduction of the Company’s total share capital from 855,908,981 shares to 855,434,087 shares. On the basis that the total amount of the distribution remains unchanged, the implemented profit distribution plan has been adjusted to be calculated based on the latest total share capital of 855,434,087 shares, with a cash dividend of RMB 0.500277 per 10 shares (inclusive of tax). The period between the approval of this distribution plan by the General Meeting and its implementation does not exceed two months.
