The Board of Chong Hing Bank Limited has declared the payment of an interim cash dividend of HKD 0.11 per share for the six months ended 30 June 2021. As the 2021 interim dividend is not more than HKD 0.11 per share, pursuant to the terms of the proposal, there will not be any Dividend Adjustment, and hence the Cancellation Price per Scheme Share and the Share Award Offer Price per Outstanding Share Award of HKD 20.80 respectively will not be adjusted and will remain unchanged. As at the date of this announcement, save for the 2021 Interim Dividend which has been declared, the Company does not intend to announce, declare, make or pay any dividend, distribution or return of capital on or before the Effective Date. As further set out in the 2021 Interim Results Announcement, (i) the 2021 Interim Dividend is expected to be paid on, 7 October 2021, to Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company on, 7 September 2021 (the "2021 Interim Dividend Record Date") and (ii) the register of members of the Company will be closed on, 7 September 2021 for the purpose of determining entitlements to the 2021 Interim Dividend.
