The annual equity distribution plan of the company in 2021 is: Based on 439317616 shares of the company’s total existing share capital excluding 2257800 shares repurchased, Distribute RMB 2000394 in cash to all shareholders for every 10 shares (including tax; after tax deduction, the Hong Kong market investors holding shares through Shenzhen Stock connect (special note: the listed company shall determine the equity distribution and implement the announcement to retain or delete such investors according to whether they belong to the underlying securities of Shenzhen stock connect), QFII, rqfii, individuals holding pre IPO restricted shares and securities investment funds shall distribute RMB 1800355 for every 10 shares; The individual dividend and bonus tax on the restricted shares, equity incentive restricted shares and non tradable shares after the initial public offering is levied at a differentiated tax rate.

3、 Equity registration date and ex dividend date

The registration date of this equity distribution is May 25, 2022, and the ex right and ex interest date is May 26, 2022.

4、 On the calculation principle and method of ex right and ex dividend price

Considering that the shares in the company’s special securities repurchase account will not participate in the annual equity distribution in 2021, the total amount of the company’s actual cash dividend = the total share capital actually participating in the distribution × Distribution ratio, i.e. 8788083231407 yuan = 439317616 shares × 02000394 yuan / share.

Since the company does not participate in the dividend when repurchasing shares, after the implementation of this equity distribution, according to the principle that the market value of shares remains unchanged, the total share capital of the company remains unchanged before and after the implementation of the equity distribution, and the proportion of the total cash dividend allocated to each share will be reduced. Therefore, when calculating the ex right and ex dividend price after the implementation of this equity distribution, the cash dividend per share should be calculated at 01990165 yuan / share (cash dividend per share = total cash dividend ÷ total share capital, i.e. 01990165 yuan)/

Securities abbreviation: Shanghai Zhezhong Group Co.Ltd(002346) securities code: Shanghai Zhezhong Group Co.Ltd(002346) Announcement No.: 202232 shares = 8788083231407 yuan ÷ 441575416 shares).

To sum up, on the premise that the equity distribution scheme remains unchanged, the ex right and ex interest price after the implementation of the annual equity distribution in 2021 shall be implemented in accordance with the above principles and calculation methods, that is, the ex right and ex interest price after the implementation of the equity distribution = the closing price on the equity registration date -01990165 yuan / share.
