[PCC President Zhao Peng: Study and optimize the dividend policy under the new standards to promote the dividend rate to be maintained at a reasonable level in the industry for the long term] On August 31, at the 2026 interim results conference of PICC, PICC President Zhao Peng said that it has not yet considered using alternative indicators such as operating profits as the basis for dividends. When considering dividends, on the one hand, how to maintain the company's performance, especially the sustained and stable growth of profits, and on the other hand, how to provide long-term stable growth in dividends. Zhao Peng said that PICC will adhere to the core strategy of long-term stable growth of dividends per share based on benchmarking peer practices. At the same time, we will also actively study and optimize the dividend policy under the new standards to promote the company's dividend rate to remain at a reasonable level in the industry in the long term.
