(hereinafter referred to as “the company”) at the end of the period was 1131923245281 yuan. According to the resolution of the 16th meeting of the third board of directors of the company, the company plans to distribute profits based on the total share capital registered on the equity distribution registration date minus the total number of repurchased shares in 2021. The profit distribution plan is as follows:

As of December 31, 2021, the total share capital of the company is 7333360000 shares. After deducting 19543506 shares repurchased, 7313816494 shares are entitled to this cash dividend, and the total amount of cash dividend to be distributed is 2047678237 yuan.

The total amount of cash dividends to be distributed and the amount of shares repurchased during the reporting period totaled 23475889577 yuan. The total amount of cash dividends of the company in this year accounted for 33.20% of the net profit attributable to shareholders of Listed Companies in this year.

In 2021, the company donated 300 million yuan in cash to Ningxia Yanbao charity foundation for public welfare charities and other public welfare activities dominated by donations to students. In order to protect the interests of non restricted shareholders, the donation is proposed to be fully borne by the restricted shareholders of the company in the specific way of:, The restricted shareholders of the company will fully compensate the donation shared by non restricted shareholders during the cash dividend. The specific calculation process is as follows:

1. Compensation amount of restricted shareholders to non restricted shareholders

Amount of compensation for shares not sold = (total amount of compensation for shares not sold =) × Charitable donation = 80999838 yuan

2. Cash dividend per share and total dividend of non restricted shareholders

Cash dividend per share of non restricted shareholders = [(number of non restricted shares ÷ total number of shares entitled to this cash dividend) × Total cash dividends + compensation] ÷ number of non restricted shares = 0.3210 yuan / share (including tax).

The total cash dividend of non restricted shareholders was 633887205 yuan.

3. Cash dividends per share and total dividends of shareholders of restricted shares

Cash dividend per share of shareholders of restricted shares = [(number of restricted shares ÷ total number of shares entitled to this cash dividend) × The total cash dividend amount – compensation amount] ÷ number of restricted shares = 0.2648 yuan / share (including tax).

The total cash dividend of shareholders of restricted shares is 1413791032 yuan.
