Upon the resolution of the board of directors, the company intends to distribute profits and increase share capital in 2024 based on the total share capital of the company registered on the record date of the implementation of equity distribution and the shares in the company's special securities account for repurchase. The profit distribution and provident fund conversion plan are as follows:

On March 21, the company's total share capital was 112,200,431 shares, deducting the number of shares in the special securities account for repurchase
The total number of remaining shares after 2,251,613 shares is 109,948,818 shares, and the total proposed cash dividend of RMB 65,969,290.80 (tax included) is calculated on this basis. The total cash dividend of the company for the year was 65,969,290.80 yuan; The amount of share repurchases that have been implemented in the form of centralized bidding and offer for the year with cash as the consideration
88,774,988.96 yuan, cash dividends and repurchase amounted to 154,744,279.76 yuan, accounting for 45.60% of the net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company for the year.
